Early diagnosis and treatment of PCOS in teenagers can help prevent more severe adult PCOS.

Some patients with high prolactin levels don't show symptoms because they have a form of the hormone that's less active.

The document concludes that correct diagnosis and management of PCOS are important, and more research is needed on its risks and treatments.

High prolactin levels can cause skin and hair symptoms similar to those caused by hormone imbalances.

Some conditions mimic PCOS symptoms and need careful diagnosis to treat potentially serious health issues.

Finasteride may decrease semen quality but not harm sperm production, and stopping the drug can improve semen quality; hyperprolactinemia can cause infertility but is treatable with medication.

The document concludes that treatment for excessive hair growth depends on the cause, with options including hair removal methods and medications like anti-androgens or insulin-sensitizing drugs.

Women with acromegaly often have irregular periods due to hormone imbalances and growth hormone effects.

Treating hyperprolactinemia can help manage PCOS symptoms.

Hormonal imbalances, often indicating conditions like PCOS, are common in women with hard-to-treat acne, and a treatment approach addressing these imbalances may be needed.

Women with a certain type of hair loss had lower levels of a hormone called prolactin compared to healthy women.

Ayurveda views Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome (PCOS) as a metabolic disorder caused by an imbalance of Vata, Kapha, and Pitta, and suggests treatments like Samsodhanam, Agneya Dravyas, and Swayoni Vardhana dravyas.

Hyperprolactinemia should be treated before confirming a PCOS diagnosis.

Hormone imbalances from the pituitary, thyroid, and adrenal glands can cause infertility, but treating these disorders can improve fertility.

Treatment of acromegaly can improve women's reproductive health issues caused by hormonal imbalances or tumors.

Before treating hair loss, it's crucial to diagnose and treat any underlying medical conditions that may be causing it.

Testosterone is key for male sexual function, and treating hormone imbalances can improve sexual issues.

The report concludes that PCOS is mainly a condition of excess male hormones and its definition may change as new information is discovered.

Amenorrhea is relatively rare and initial testing should check FSH, TSH, and prolactin levels.

The document concludes that identifying the cause of amenorrhea is crucial for proper treatment.

Amenorrhea, or the absence of periods, should be evaluated by age 15 or within five years of early breast development, and is most commonly caused by conditions like polycystic ovary syndrome and hypothalamic amenorrhea.

Psychological stress and personal history are significant factors in hair loss.

Amenorrhea is when a woman doesn't have periods, with primary amenorrhea starting by age 15 or within five years of breast development, and secondary amenorrhea when periods stop for three months. It affects 3-4% of women not pregnant, breastfeeding, or in menopause, mainly due to polycystic ovary syndrome, hypothalamic amenorrhea, hyperprolactinemia, and ovarian failure.

Women with pituitary adenomas often have reproductive issues, like irregular periods and trouble getting pregnant, but not always breast milk production without pregnancy.

Hirsutism in women is mostly caused by polycystic ovary syndrome and idiopathic hyperandrogenism.

People with both obvious and not-so-obvious underactive thyroid issues often have higher levels of the hormone prolactin.

Prolactin contributes to hair loss by promoting hair follicle shrinkage and cell death.

Hirsutism is mainly caused by high androgen levels or sensitivity, with PCOS being the most common cause.

The document concluded that more research is needed to understand how estrogen affects the enzyme involved in hirsutism development.

Moderately high prolactin levels do not cause hair loss in women.
