the endocrine system is a wonderfully delicate system. We all have both sets of hormones in our systems, wether genetically female or genetically male ( aside from any whom may be transgendered and/or transexual). Some females (such as yourself) can experience a naturally higher testosterone level than most of the female population. This is also connected to the sex-drive. Androgens/testosterone can and will be lowered with a anti-androgen ( ciprocur, wild yam, spirolactone). it prevents Testosterone receptors from receiving naturally produced testosterone and opens estrogen receptors to ...well, receive estrogen and/or estrogenic/xeno-estrogens (xeno meaning foreign..aka phyto(Plant) or chemical estrogens(BPA which has been linked to plastics).).
Estrogens are the "secondary" charachteristics that the body will produce with the abscence of testosterone DHT. Muscles will atrophy (shrink) with the lack of testosterone (provided you do not strength train or lift heavy amounts of muscle) However, the downside is weight gain in fat is likely. so toning excersize may be necessary (cardio).
That being said... you need to be careful when taking any sort of endocrinal interruptors.. more is not always better.. when in doubt talk to your physician before and/or during treatments..
Oh and btw, it will not change bone structure.. you may lose some % of bone density, however the overall Bone size will not deminish.
So for PM and/or any other xeno estrogen and/or phyto estrogens to work an anti-androgen should be used to block Testosterone (essentially it will work as a "shut off switch " the body will temporarily (as long as the anti-androgens are taken) stop the body from producing DHT's ....
stopping it anti-androgens wil revert to DHT production.
Hope this helps
