Question
What health issues might be indicated by elevated estradiol and testosterone levels in a child?
Answer
When a child has both estradiol and testosterone levels that are too high, it may be a sign of an endocrine disorder, particularly a symptom of polycystic ovary syndrome. This condition often affects the child’s menstrual and ovulatory function, leading to irregular periods or delays and reducing the chances of conception. Treatment may involve medications like Dianyi to lower testosterone levels, helping to restore normal menstrual cycles and ovulatory function.
