My sister, 35 years old, was advised a hormone test due to severe acne. I have attached the results. Is the blood report normal? Does elevated DHEAS require any treatment?

High DHEAS may suggest a hormonal imbalance like PCOS or adrenal overactivity. It can cause acne, irregular cycles, or hair growth. Treatment may include hormonal therapy. A gynecologist or endocrinologist can help interpret and manage this.

What should be avoided in PCOD?

Answered by Apollo Doctors

I have been experiencing sudden irregular periods (3 times in the last month), cystic acne on my chin, and weight loss over the past few months. My blood test revealed low iron (report attached). Could you please advise what might be the root cause of these symptoms? Could this be related to a hormonal imbalance? Is the iron deficiency due to internal bleeding or polyps?
