Overactive Adrenal Glands - symptoms and how to test
The adrenal glands are "overactive" when they generate an abnormally high hormone level. The symptoms and therapy for hyperandrogenism are hormone-specific. People in their twenties to fifties are the most likely to be affected. A round face, thin skin, and excessive fat in the upper torso may be symptoms. The underlying problem determines the treatment required. Imaging procedures like a CT scan or ultrasound and more conventional blood and urine testing may be necessary.
