Hi there, I’m 27F. Normal BMI. Main concerns: gradually worsening acne and congestion on cheeks, temples, chin, & hair loss at temples. It started at the beginning of last year after having crystal clear skin my whole life.
I am worried that I may have some hormonal imbalance causing this acne and hair loss. Previously I had a transvaginal and pelvic ultrasound of my ovaries/uterus with results stating “consistent with, but not diagnostic of PCOS.”
I saw a doctor by telehealth to get my hormones tested and I don’t know how to properly interpret the results. It seems that my testosterone is normal but ratio wise, against other hormones, is it dominating? Or do I have estrogen dominance? What is causing my acne and hair loss?
FSH: 13.1 IU/L (MIDCYCLE REF RANGE: 4.2-19.0)
LH: 38.8 IU/L (MIDCYCLE REF RANGE: 9.1-74.2)
Estradiol: 994 pmol/L (MIDCYCLE REF RANGE: 140-2380)
DHEAS: 4.4 umol/L (REF RANGE: <10.8)
Testosterone: 0.9 nmol/L (REF RANGE: <1.8)
My GP is not available to follow up with me for another few weeks so I was hoping that someone could help me interpret these. My blood work was done on day 12 of my menstrual cycle (I wasn’t told to go at a specific time).
Thank you for your time.
