Testosterone...

[Rora]

Im a 20 year old Female, and since september i've been dealing with cysts in my ovaries. (Yes the healthcare system in Canada is quite bull**** i must say). Also, due to the cysts there's been an increase of testosterone in my body. Had ultrasounds done, AND tests to show that my testosterone lvel is high and they told me that Alesse birth control pills should do the trick (For the cysts...nothing was mentiond for the hormone).

NOW the pill DID get rid of my cysts!
But becaus of the testosterone, my hips have noticably shrank, and so have my breasts...and i used to love my curvy body. It's quite depressing that no matter what i do, it's still not going back to the way it was.

What solution is there where i can even out my hormone level again...where my body will change back to the way it was?
Any hormone pills...etc?

You really need to discuss this with your physician. Supposedly there are herbal suppliments and creams like wild yam root and stuff like that which will help. However, before trying them, you MUST see the doc first...otherwise you may do harm to yourself, making your situation worse than you currently percieve it to be.

Wild yam root is hormone bogus. It is not at the levels or availablity to the system to be useful. I hear it makes a good skin cream though.

That's what I thought - until I saw a demonstration of a 40 something year old woman who had given birth to 4 children using it to repair her breasts to the appearance of those of an 18-20 year old. I looked only for pure scientific interest of course. And did not see the "before"...but from what I was told, the yam cream did an impressive job. I know the end results were pretty good...I just don't know the starting point.


OK, I know what you are going to say here - just anecdotal, no good. So I will start looking for as many volunteers as possible to stop by once or twice a day for application of either yam cream or plain lotion - they won't know what they are getting - I'll do the application purely in the name of science and discovery. It will of course have to be a large study with LOTS of volunteers to give valid results.

Dont bother it will do nothing.
Wild yam is touted bcause it contains diosgenin a precursot to progesterone and thus other steroid synthesis. However the body can not convert diosgenin to thes molecules only in a laboratory situation.

But I'd REALLY like to do the study.

You gotta admit - it is a good idea.
