Ok well for example: androgens what are they and how exactly are they related to breast growth?

I have some ideas but I'm still confused. Like lately I've been growin a lot of facial face a beard to be exact. It's first it started when I was 17 with one or two but now that I'm 23 I have to many to count. So is that a sign that I have too much androgens? How exactly does effect my NBE? And how exactly do I go about changing it?

Could be a sign of P.C.O.S , Polycystic ovary syndrome (say "pah-lee-SIS-tik OH-vuh-ree SIN-drohm") is a problem in which a woman's hormones are out of balance.


Symptoms tend to be mild at first. You may have only a few symptoms or a lot of them. The most common symptoms are:

*Acne.
*Weight gain and trouble losing weight.
*Extra hair on the face and body. Often women get thicker and darker facial hair and more hair on the chest, belly, and back.
*Thinning hair on the scalp.
*Irregular periods. Often women with PCOS have fewer than nine periods a year. *Some women have no periods. Others have very heavy bleeding.
*Fertility problems. Many women who have PCOS have trouble getting pregnant (infertility).
Depression.

It also can be a sign of DHEA being high,
High DHEA-S levels along with elevated androstenedione and testosterone occur in PCOS. DHEA is produced mainly in the adrenal glands, with a small amount made in the ovary. Your body converts DHEA to testosterone. Between 50 to 75 percent of the testosterone in a woman's body comes from conversion of DHEA, with the rest produced by the ovary. The androgen DHEA-S is produced in the adrenal gland and high circulating levels of DHEA-S can occur when prolactin levels rise. Levels of prolactin, a hormone associated with lactation, are elevated in around 25 percent of women with PCOS, according to Dr. Marx. DHEA-S is also secreted with cortisol and cortisol levels rise during stress and in adolescence.
