Will Taking Mercilon Help Reduce Testosterone Levels?
had blood test taken due to hair loss issues. my testosterone lvl was at 87. have irregular menses and acne too. could this be due to my high testoterone?
went to see a gynecologist and scan showed my ovaries were polycystic. did blood test during menses for my hormones which came out normal but on the low side. gyne put me on mercilon bcp for 6 months to supposedly help regulate my menses.
would like to know if Mercilon can help to reduce the testosterone lvls and help with my acne ?

Brief Ans-Need further Investigations for Chronic Abdominal complaints
Hi Dear,Thanks for your query to HCM.
Read your query facts and reviewed it in context to your health concerns.
Based on the facts of your query you seem to suffer mostly from-
PCOS with Hair loss from High Testosterone levels.
High estrogen pills would be better to control acne,as there are controversial reports about effectivity of mercilone bcp to reduce acne and high testosterone effects.
Hope this would help you to plan further treatment with your doctors there.
Welcome for any further queries in this regard.
Good Day!!
