Estrogen deficiency, like after menopause or certain surgeries, leads to faster skin aging and health issues.
research Sexual function in women with androgen excess disorders: classic forms of congenital adrenal hyperplasia and polycystic ovary syndrome
Women with congenital adrenal hyperplasia (CAH) have more sexual function issues than those with polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS), but physical activity can improve sexual functioning in all women.
research The biology and clinical application of systemic glucocorticoids
Glucocorticoids are powerful anti-inflammatory drugs that must be used carefully to avoid serious side effects.
