Possibly, but not necessarily. Numerous studies have shown a link between low estrogen and dementia. This would comport with that since excess testosterone is aromatized into estrogen by the body. As a woman, I would think it would depend on the entirety of your hormone picture. If you have high test and chronically low estrogen, aromatizing excess test might not be enough to make up the difference.

There are never any definitive answers that apply to everyone with hormones. Everyone is different. I would merely take this as a sign that all of us should be vigilant about hour hormone levels.

I am on my 3rd endocrinologist. The first one didnt have a clue as to what he was doing because his forte was diabetes. The second sort of understood the complexity...but it took the third one to even get an ACTH test ordered...which should have been done in the very first round of tests.

I am so fed up with the medical profession right now.

I probably have a genetic variation causing this sex steroid mess but it has taken many months to even get a referral to a metabolic geneticist and the appointment took as many months because so many people are looking for an appointment
