Synopses & Reviews
Androgen disorders are imbalances of the "male hormones" (androgens) that cause excessive facial and body hair, unusual hair loss, acne, weight gain, menstrual dysfunction, and ovarian cysts, and increase risk of heart disease and diabetes. Many women are embarrassed to discuss these symptoms with doctors. This book will help them understand and manage the problem. It includes case histories, interviews, descriptions of conventional and alternative treatments, and a section on prevention and self-help.
Synopsis
