Very informative video. My age is 25 and DHEA S Level is 567 alongwith serum cortisol (3-5 pm) level 24.7. My testosterone level is 0.5 and FSH is 5.7 and LH is 4.6 Kindly suggest, if this report indicates some disorder.
My DHEA (not sulfate) is 4200 on my dutch test. It's not supposed to be above 3000....my cortisol is also low. My DHEAS are normal but on the higher end of normal. I'm scared AF.
I am a HRT patient with elevated DHEA 858 Cleared of tumors cancer Cushing’s and Addison’s my end of things that I have CAH but he’s not experienced enough to tackle it
@@swintegrative - I see an Endocrinologist monthly, I also get injected weekly with Testosterone. Im a cash payment patient so you can imagine my of pocket cost just to feel some what normal on a daily basis. Physically I look like a shredded gym rat mentally and internally I feel crummy a lot of the time. My Endocrinologist has already told me that he has never seen a male with CAH in the 18 years he has been a doctor. Im currently in the process of trying to find a doctor in Texas who has experience in treating CAH in males. I had do to a bunch of testing and blood work back in January I tested negative for Cushings, Addisons, Tumors and Cancer.
Thanks so much for your videos! I have high DHEA-S but low AM cortisol levels and other cortisol levels throughout the day are normal, I did a 24 hour comprehensive urine test. My ACTH levels are also normal, CT scan on my adrenal glands came back normal, and my STIM test came back normal. I have no idea what’s causing my high DHEA-S levels but I want to learn how to correct it as I’m having negative symptoms. Any advice you can recommend would be much appreciated. Thank you!
Have you figured this out yet? I have the same exact thing for so many years and no one knows. Not a single doctor that I’ve been to and it’s frustrating. I just want to get back in a healthy balance
I'm 39 and just found out my DHEAS was too high. I do not have PCOS because my AMH is normal (1.2 = average or good for my age) and so is FSH (7.6), estradiol, LH, prolactin and so on are also all normal. Why is my DHEAS high? It's not new I think because I've always been hairy all over (white, hardly visible hairs though) and have always had problems with acne. I eat healthy and take supplements and have no deficiencies.
We have different numbers here in Sweden because we measure it in umol/L. Normal level DHEA-S for my age (39, turning 40 this year) is 0.8-7.3 umol/L. Mine is 9.6 umol/L.
Hi thanks for your comments. It is hard to say but there is no direct link of high cortisol and breast cancer. There is of course the link between stress and cancer but that is too general to be useful.
Thank you very much for videos... I have one question...Can high DHEA level cause androgenic alopecia (woman)? my testosterone is at normal but I suffer from hairfall so I am worried... cortisol from blood was 758,5 nmol/l... Have a nice day
Hi doc, Thanks for this great video! I'm wondering if you can you take DHEA with 5HTP? I saw that it's not reccomended to take DHEA with SSRI as it can increase seratonin to very high levels, but what about with 5HTP?
Hi, there is not a definitive explanation for this based those numbers alone but I would expect your hormones to be different while breastfeeding. possibly 3 beta hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase enzyme is down-regulated.
Hello Dr, Thanks for your video. Generally it's a female problem but what is the scenario for men? i have elevated DHEA-SO4 levels(624) and i am suffering from hair loss, oily scalp and other thyroidish problems for more than 10 years.. I'm 33 years old MAN. There are lots of info about for low DHEA-S but not high DHEA.. What do you recommend for my case? Thanks in advance..
The same things that cause high dhea-s in female can do this in males too, cortisol,/stress, increased enzyme activity. You have to check the various hormone levels to find out which enzymes are involved you might need to be screened for adrenal hyperplasia.
Hi Alec, I imagine that L theanine might lower cortisol but Have not used it that way. High stress can increase the overall estrogen in system but this probably would not be enough to cause estrogen dominance. However, it is likely that estrogen dominance causes high DHEA.
Thank you so much on this video! I have high DHEA-s levels and I'm on the pill because of it. Can I still make cortisol test even if im on the pill? If not, how long should I be off the pill to test it?
Interesting. Thank you for sharing this, however my cortisol is normal, but my DHEA-s level is: 367 (normal: 22 - 266). What might this combination indicate? I apologize if you covered this and I missed it. Thanks.
@@swintegrative Yes, I did; Unfortunately, I made a comment prior to finding the other videos. Still, I didn’t hear anything specifying a normal cortisol, but high DHEA-s. It’s not an issue, as I’m sure I’ve missed it. Thanks again 🙂
It’s hard to know for sure without checking the other hormones and knowing the actual values. However, one possibility is down regulation in 3 beta hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase. This will keep more dhea-s around. Keep in mind these things are usually multifactorial with lots of layer that influence other layers.
Thank you so much for this, it’s very eye opening and interesting to know. I have extremely high DHEAS levels but I have not been tested for cortisol levels I’m not sure why. Would extreme hair loss be a factor in high cortisol levels?
Hi Cristina, it's probably not cortisol driven (but you may want to check multiple times) Also check out one of the other videos on how do i lower DHEA levels.
It is probably coming from your adrenal glands. It really depends on your unique situation. I would have to look at your whole health history and lab values.
Any idea why a man would have high dhes, prolactin, androstenedione however low cortisol and testosterone? This is currently stumping my endocrinologist.
Hi doc, I was told I have high testosterone which I believe now its all related to also having a High DHEA-SULFATE. So, now im trying to lower my testosterone & DHEA. I'm assuming that by controlling my High DHEA-SULFATE, that would automatically lower my testosterone? Also, can you make a video on how to lower high testosterone on females. Another thing, i feel like I might have a insulin resistance.. maybe thats why I have high testosterone or even high DHEA-SULFATE?? I haven't been told I have PCOS but with everything I've been told so far, and having irregular periods, etc it definitely related to PCOS.
Hi Yesenia, Yes I ma do a separate video on lower testosterone in females. Check out this video on the relationship of PCOS and testosterone. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-tPhw26E9NaY.html
