How do you lower dhea levels in women?

Sometimes Birth Control pills can help. But it takes a while. Use of anti-androgens help the side effects of excess dhea and might also help lower it as well. Such as metformin, spironolactone, finsteride, etc. If their is excess dhea chances are there is balding and excess hair growth as well. It can also produce unwanted deepening of the voice and mood swings. Sometimes high levels of dhea are a symptoms of poly-cystic ovarian syndrome, and sometimes its a warning sign of an adrenal dys-function. There are two glands in a womans body that makes dhea. Either the ovaries or the adrenals are the culprit. The clue is finding out which one it is first, and then treating it based on that. For adrenal a low dose of dexamethasone is common and that slows down the overproduction of hormones, although it should first be ruled out adrenal tumors or pcos. Hope that helps.
