Hi doctor,

I am a 29-year-old female. I have been diagnosed with PCOS with high testosterone levels. How to reduce it?

Thanks.

Answered by Dr. Rohit Jain

Hi,

Welcome to icliniq.com.

I understand your concern.

It is not difficult. Tablet Danazol (anhydrous lactose) is given to reduce testosterone levels. For PCOS (polycystic ovarian syndrome), depending on your other reports and follicular monitoring, you can be given various drugs to improve it. But it is tough to prescribe without properly examining.

I hope this information will help you.

Thanks.
