High DHEA

[joan228]

If you have a high level of DHEA, would an Endocrinologist be the best doctor to seek for answers?

An OBGYN or General Endo would be the place to start

A good OB/GYN should be able to address this. In light of your high Dhea-your Testosterone levels should be checked (including Free).
If they are elevated, PCOS would be a good consideration. If considerably high; a look into your adrenal glands.

Personally, if I had a choice: I would choose an Endocrinologist but I think a good OB/GYN should be able to get to the bottom of this.

Good luck!

PCOS is Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome.  That's about all I know about it!  Hope that you can find a good doctor to check everything out for you.

Thanks Kate I really do appreciate your opinion. Being I'm new to all of this, what is PCOS? And I have made a decision to go see an Endocrinologist and take out the middle man. Let see what happens from there.
Thanks again,
