DHEAS deficiency symptoms
DHEAS (dehydroepiandrosterone sulfate) deficiency can manifest through various symptoms, affecting different aspects of the body. Here are some common symptoms associated with DHEAS deficiency:
- Acne: Reduced DHEAS levels can contribute to the development of acne, particularly in adults.
- Oily skin: DHEAS plays a role in regulating sebum production, and low levels can lead to excessive oiliness in the skin.
- Fatigue: DHEAS is involved in energy production, and its deficiency can result in persistent fatigue or low energy levels.
- Bad memory: DHEAS plays a role in cognitive function, and its deficiency may contribute to memory impairment or difficulties with concentration.
- Muscle weakness: DHEAS is associated with muscle strength and mass. Low levels of DHEAS can lead to muscle weakness and decreased stamina.
- Hirsutism: DHEAS influences the balance of androgens in the body. Deficiency may result in increased hair growth in areas typically associated with male pattern hair growth, such as the face and chest, in women (hirsutism).
- Skin and eyes dryness: DHEAS deficiency can lead to dryness of the skin and eyes, causing discomfort and potentially affecting vision.
- Insulin resistance: DHEAS helps regulate glucose metabolism, and its deficiency may contribute to insulin resistance, a condition associated with impaired blood sugar control.
- Addison's disease: Severe DHEAS deficiency can be associated with Addison's disease, a rare disorder characterized by insufficient adrenal gland function.
- Polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS): DHEAS imbalance is often observed in women with PCOS, a hormonal disorder characterized by multiple cysts on the ovaries and various symptoms such as irregular periods, excess hair growth, and fertility issues.
- Low stamina: Decreased DHEAS levels can result in reduced endurance and overall stamina during physical activities.
- Low libido: DHEAS plays a role in sexual function and libido. Deficiency may lead to a decrease in sexual desire.
- Less muscle mass: DHEAS deficiency can contribute to a decrease in muscle mass, affecting overall strength and body composition.
- Less hair growth in underarms: DHEAS influences hair growth patterns. Reduced levels may result in decreased hair growth in areas such as the underarms.
- Inability to lose weight: DHEAS deficiency can affect metabolism and contribute to difficulties in losing weight.
Understanding DHEAS (DS) and Its Importance
DHEAS (dehydroepiandrosterone) is an endogenous hormone produced by the adrenal gland. It plays a crucial role in the production of various hormones, including estrogen, progesterone, cortisone, and testosterone. As individuals age, their DHEAS levels tend to decrease, particularly after the age of 30. Additionally, certain conditions such as anorexia, end-stage kidney disease, type 2 diabetes, AIDS, adrenal insufficiency, and critical illness can lead to low DHEAS levels.
By testing your DHEAS levels, you can determine if your adrenal glands are functioning optimally. This test is especially relevant for women exhibiting signs of high male hormone levels. Our DHEAS Hormone Test Kit is precisely designed to analyze your blood for the levels of DHEA-S taken up by various tissues in your body, providing valuable insights into your hormonal health.
