 Dear onebadco69,
From these informations a poly cystic ovary syndrome PCOS is to be considered while searching for any possible cause.
Between 4% and 7% of women of PCOS produce high level of male hormone testosterone in their ovaries. Recently, it has been shown that some of them they also have high Insulin hormone levels to overcome the increased resistance to Insulin's effects.
Polycystic ovary syndrome -PCOS- is a condition in which females have problems in
their menstrual cycle,
fertility,
excess hormones including Insulin production,
heart, blood vessels,
and physical appearance (obesity).
Acne, oily skin, or dandruff
obesity and
high blood pressure
hair loss in specific parts due to high androgen level
Cause of PCOS are not known yet and diagnosis is confirmed by Abdominal US in addition to the other labs.
I advise you to keep on follow up with your doctor and to discuss with him the mentioned information.
Keep us updated.
Best regards,
