It is a common infertility disorder.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It affects a significant portion of the global population. In fact, PCOS is the leading cause of anovulatory infertility in women.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>PCOS is the most common hormonal condition in reproductive age women (generally age 18 to 44). Its prevalence is <a href=\"https:\/\/pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov\/31920361\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">estimated<\/a> to be between eight and 13 percent.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>PCOS is multifactorial, complex, and difficult to diagnose. It can often get missed since it has overlapping symptoms with several other conditions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>PCOS involves multiple different genes. It is an inflammatory condition and autoimmune condition. It involves a dysregulated steroid state and is mostly due to lifestyle factors.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>PCOS involves the imbalance of several hormones, including the following:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Gonadotrophin releasing hormone<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Insulin<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Luteinizing hormone to follicular stimulating hormone ratio<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Androgens<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Estrogens<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Growth hormones<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Cortisol<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Parathyroid hormone<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Calcitonin<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>[bensnaturalhealthIinlineLeadGen id =&#8221;1&#8243; event=&#8221;15 Food Blood Sugar eBook Download&#8221; image=&#8221;https:\/\/blog.bensnaturalhealth.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/Ipad-15-Foods.png&#8221; title=&#8221;Get Your FREE Diabetes Diet Plan&#8221; content=&#8221;##15 foods to naturally lower blood sugar levels ##3 day sample meal plan ##Designed exclusively by our nutritionist&#8221;]<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-what-are-the-symptoms-of-pcos\">What are the symptoms of PCOS?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Symptoms of PCOS include the following:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/blog.bensnaturalhealth.com\/diabetes-health\/insulin-resistance-and-pcos\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Insulin resistance<\/a><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Hyperinsulinemia<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Hyperandrogenism<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Chronic anovulation<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Polycystic ovaries<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Acne<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Irregular menstrual cycles<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-what-are-typical-testosterone-levels-in-pcos-patients\">What are typical testosterone levels in PCOS patients?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>A healthy woman without PCOS generally has testosterone levels between 15 and 70 nanograms per decilitre, or 0.5 to 2.4 nanomoles per liter.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Women with PCOS have an average testosterone level of 92.5 nanograms per decilitre or 5.7 nanomoles per liter.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1000\" height=\"250\" src=\"https:\/\/blog.bensnaturalhealth.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/large-blood-test-blog-header-image-1.jpg\" alt=\"blood test\" class=\"wp-image-20700\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.bensnaturalhealth.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/large-blood-test-blog-header-image-1.jpg 1000w, https:\/\/www.bensnaturalhealth.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/large-blood-test-blog-header-image-1-300x75.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.bensnaturalhealth.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/large-blood-test-blog-header-image-1-768x192.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-how-can-you-tell-if-a-woman-has-high-testosterone\">How can you tell if a woman has high testosterone?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>A woman with high testosterone may display the following symptoms:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Hirsutism<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Amenorrhea<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Oligomenorrhea<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Obesity<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Acne<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Infertility<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Alopecia<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Insulin resistance<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-what-causes-high-testosterone-in-pcos\">What causes high testosterone in PCOS?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>In PCOS, the pituitary hormone levels called luteinizing hormone are too high. The levels of insulin are also too high. This causes the ovaries to make a high amount of testosterone.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>There is substantial <a href=\"https:\/\/pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov\/26825073\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">evidence<\/a> from in vitro and animal studies showing that endocrine disruptors could lead to the high testosterone we see in PCOS. This is because endocrine-disrupting chemicals induce reproductive and metabolic aberrations similar to the characteristics of PCOS.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>People with PCOS have higher BPA concentrations compared to patients without PCOS. Those with higher BPA concentrations also were more likely to have high androgen levels in the blood. This shows that BPA may play a role in the development of PCOS.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Exposure to certain endocrine-disrupting chemicals could permanently change neuroendocrine reproductive and metabolic regulation. This is especially true if you are genetically susceptible to PCOS. Exposure to endocrine-disrupting chemicals could accelerate or exacerbate the course of the development of PCOS.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-what-health-issues-are-caused-by-high-androgens\">What health issues are caused by high androgens?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>High androgens can lead to the following health issues:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/blog.bensnaturalhealth.com\/diabetes-health\/pcos-and-diabetes\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Diabetes<\/a><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Cardiovascular disease<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Infertility<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Obesity<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>PCOS can also influence bone metabolism. For this reason, people with PCOS are more susceptible to <a href=\"https:\/\/blog.bensnaturalhealth.com\/general-health\/osteoporosis\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">osteoporosis<\/a>. Some evidence also shows that medications taken to treat PCOS may increase the risk of bone fracture through endocrine disruption.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The incidence of depression among people with PCOS is higher than in the rest of the population. PCOS can significantly affect the quality of life. Self-esteem can also be lower among people with PCOS. This is likely due to factors such as obesity, <a href=\"https:\/\/blog.bensnaturalhealth.com\/general-health\/get-rid-of-acne-scars\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">acne<\/a>, alopecia, and hirsutism.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.bensnaturalhealth.com\/ben-s-glyco-optimizer.html?utm_source=organic&amp;utm_medium=blog&amp;utm_campaign=glyco_optimizer_testosterone_pcos\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/blog.bensnaturalhealth.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/Glucose-Control-Inline-1.jpg\" alt=\"glyco optimizer\" class=\"wp-image-29484\"\/><\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-how-to-lower-testosterone-if-you-have-pcos\">How to lower testosterone if you have PCOS<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Changing your lifestyle can prevent immune activation and minimize your exposure to inflammatory factors. In fact, researchers say that this is the sustainable way to treat PCOS.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-diet\">Diet<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Eating the right <a href=\"https:\/\/blog.bensnaturalhealth.com\/diabetes-health\/pcos-diet\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">foods can help manage your PCOS<\/a>. In fact, the right foods can nourish you and regulate your hormones as well as your menstrual cycle.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Processed foods with lots of preservatives can lead to inflammation and insulin resistance. Instead of these, focus on whole foods.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Whole foods are those with no artificial sugars, hormones, or preservatives. They are as close to their natural form as possible. Examples of whole foods include fruits, vegetables, whole grains, and legumes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Without the hormones and preservatives that come in junk foods, your endocrine system can better regulate your body\u2019s blood sugar levels.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It\u2019s also important that you have a proper balance between carbs and proteins. Both of these macronutrients impact your energy and hormone levels.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Eating protein stimulates your body\u2019s insulin production. Unprocessed carbs can <a href=\"https:\/\/blog.bensnaturalhealth.com\/diabetes-health\/boost-insulin-sensitivity\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">improve insulin sensitivity<\/a>. Rather than following the trendy low-carb diet, focus on getting healthy protein sources. <a href=\"https:\/\/blog.bensnaturalhealth.com\/general-health\/plant-based-protein\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Plant-based sources of protein<\/a> are best. These include nuts, legumes, and whole grains.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Don\u2019t forget that PCOS is an inflammatory condition. Because of this, the consumption of anti-inflammatory foods can be helpful. You may want to consider the <a href=\"https:\/\/blog.bensnaturalhealth.com\/general-health\/mediterranean-diet\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Mediterranean Diet<\/a>, which has many anti-inflammatory foods, including the following:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Olive oil<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Tomatoes<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Leafy greens<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Fatty fish such as mackerel and tuna<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Tree nuts<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"256\" src=\"https:\/\/blog.bensnaturalhealth.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/mediterranean-diet-1024x256.jpg\" alt=\"mediterranean\" class=\"wp-image-19389\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.bensnaturalhealth.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/mediterranean-diet-1024x256.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.bensnaturalhealth.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/mediterranean-diet-300x75.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.bensnaturalhealth.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/mediterranean-diet-768x192.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.bensnaturalhealth.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/mediterranean-diet-1536x384.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/www.bensnaturalhealth.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/mediterranean-diet.jpg 1600w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-exercise\">Exercise<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Exercise can help to <a href=\"https:\/\/blog.bensnaturalhealth.com\/diabetes-health\/how-to-lose-weight-with-pcos\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">maintain a healthy weight<\/a> for people with PCOS. However, too much of a good thing can be a bad thing. Overexercising can disrupt your hormones. Speak to a doctor to ensure you get a healthy balance of exercise.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You may want to try low-impact exercises such as yoga or pilates for longer durations.

These chemicals or ingredients can interfere with your body\u2019s normal hormone metabolism.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Certain endocrine disruptors can mimic female sex hormones, while others mimic male sex hormones. This can confuse your body\u2019s reproductive system.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Endocrine disruptors can increase your risk of PCOS. They can be found in canned foods, makeup, and soaps.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Read your product labels, and look out for the following endocrine-disrupting ingredients:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Dioxins<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Phthalates<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Pesticides<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>BPA<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Glycol ethers<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-how-is-high-testosterone-treated-in-pcos\">How is high testosterone treated in PCOS?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The current treatment methods for PCOS are subpar. This is because they focus on symptom management rather than working on the root cause.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Doctors commonly use <a href=\"https:\/\/blog.bensnaturalhealth.com\/diabetes-health\/metformin-for-pcos\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">metformin<\/a> in young girls and adolescents with PCOS as first-line therapy. They sometimes use metformin in combination with anti-androgen medications.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Doctors will often prescribe the birth control pill or hormone therapy in an effort to regulate hormone levels in PCOS.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-conclusion\">Conclusion<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>If you didn\u2019t already understand what PCOS is, you should now. You are aware of the PCOS symptoms to look out for and know what typical testosterone levels to expect. And you even have an awareness of what <a href=\"https:\/\/blog.bensnaturalhealth.com\/sexual-health\/signs-of-high-testosterone\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">signs of high testosterone<\/a> to look out for.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Remember that endocrine-disrupting chemicals such as BPA can contribute to high testosterone in PCOS. It is important to do what you can to prevent PCOS since high androgen levels can cause negative sequelae such as cardiovascular disease and diabetes. And you now know how to do that through exercise, diet, supplements, and other lifestyle changes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you have symptoms of PCOS, speak to your doctor today to get a proper diagnosis. Then work with a health care provider to help naturally lower your testosterone levels with PCOS.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-explore-more\">Explore More<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><a href=\"https:\/\/blog.bensnaturalhealth.com\/diabetes-health\/pcos-diet\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"217\" src=\"https:\/\/blog.bensnaturalhealth.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/PCOS-diet-foods-to-eat-and-foods-to-avoid-1024x217.jpg\" alt=\"pcos diet\" class=\"wp-image-34614\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.bensnaturalhealth.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/PCOS-diet-foods-to-eat-and-foods-to-avoid-1024x217.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.bensnaturalhealth.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/PCOS-diet-foods-to-eat-and-foods-to-avoid-300x64.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.bensnaturalhealth.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/PCOS-diet-foods-to-eat-and-foods-to-avoid-768x163.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.bensnaturalhealth.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/PCOS-diet-foods-to-eat-and-foods-to-avoid.jpg 1180w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/blog.bensnaturalhealth.com\/diabetes-health\/pcos-diet\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">PCOS Diet: Foods To Eat And Foods You Should Avoid<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>If you have PCOS, your doctor may have told you that the birth control pill is the only way to help regulate your hormones.&nbsp; But did you know there are natural methods of doing this as well?&nbsp; If you\u2019re one of the more than one million women in this world who has PCOS, there is [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":5,"featured_media":36082,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"inline_featured_image":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[27,92,72,36],"health_topic":[125,142],"class_list":["post-36081","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-blog","tag-exercise","tag-diabetes-medication","tag-diabetes-supplements","tag-diet-2","health_topic-diabetes-health","health_topic-diabetes-management-topic"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO Premium plugin v27.2 (Yoast SEO v27.5) - https:\/\/yoast.com\/product\/yoast-seo-premium-wordpress\/ -->\n<title>How To Naturally Lower Testosterone Levels If You Have PCOS<\/title>\n<meta name=\"description\" content=\"PCOS (polycystic ovary syndrome) patients can have high testosterone levels.
