    Excessive androgen in men may cause clinical symptoms such as temperament, irritability, and abnormal mentality. Adolescents may develop mature symptoms, grow rapidly, and develop symptoms such as throat hairs soon. Patients may also suffer from symptoms such as acne, seborrheic dermatitis, and alopecia. When androgen metabolism is too high, it is recommended that patients should eat nutritiously, avoid excessive smoking and drinking, and avoid staying up late. They should ensure adequate sleep, appropriately supplement vitamins, carbohydrates and minerals, and eat more tomatoes, lettuce, white fungus, black fungus and other fruits and vegetables. Patients should exercise as much as possible and avoid excessive psychological pressure. They should eat a reasonable diet and pay attention to rest.

    Excessive androgen first depends on whether there are any symptoms, such as strong sexual desire and excessive indulgence. It is also manifested by frequent erections at night, and even during sleep, the genital erection will cause painful awakening, which affects the patient's rest. It is common in clinical medicine that the erection subsides when standing up while awake, which is called painful erection of the male genitals at night. If the testosterone level is high, the cause needs to be determined. First, use testicular B-ultrasound to determine whether there is a tumor. At the same time, test for epinephrine, which will produce part of testosterone and dehydroepiandrosterone.

    If there is no problem with the glandular ducts, high male hormones and strong sexual desire affect rest at night, estrogen can be used to balance the problem, make the erection weaker, or even make it difficult to have an erection for a short period of time, and the patient's sleep quality can be improved. There is also the promotion of the conversion of male hormones into estrogen. Male hormones can be converted into estradiol in the body under the action of aromatase, which needs to be converted into female hormones to resist excessive androgen.

    A blood test for women reveals an increase in male hormone levels, which may be a symptom of polycystic ovary syndrome, which can inhibit ovulation in girls and cause infertility. For obese women, fat can be converted into hormones through metabolism and inhibit normal ovulation. Therefore, for obese women, they can first control their diet, exercise moderately, and reduce their body mass index. Some women can naturally reduce their testosterone levels and restore ovulation. For women with normal weight, Daiying can be taken orally for artificial cycle treatment, usually 3 to 6 cycles constitute a course of treatment.
