DHEAS does anyone know what it means help?

Question

I took lab tests as to why I've missed my periods everything turned out normal but the doctor said except for DHEAS which was elevated so she put me on birth control pills to solve the problem how long should I take these pills if I'm ttc? Please don't tell me that causes infertility 😔

Answer

An increase in DHEA-sulfate may be due to:

Congenital adrenal hyperplasia (a common genetic disorder)Noncancerous or cancerous tumor of the adrenal glandPolycystic ovary syndrome Precocious puberty

A decrease in DHEA sulfate may be due to:

Adrenal glands that produce lower-than-normal amounts of their hormonesHypopituitarism (underactive pituitary gland)Taking glucocorticoid medications

Although DHEA-sulfate is the most abundant hormone in the body, its exact function is still not known. In men, the androgenic (male hormone) effect may not be important. In women, DHEA contributes to normal libido and sexual satisfaction. DHEA may also have effects on the immune system.
