Low DHEAS
Hi,
I'm a 36 year-old female. My DHEAS level is 58 micrograms/ dL (normal values 60 - 230 micrograms/ dL according to the laboratory).
Should I visit an endocrinologist? Could this be temporary? I've read that DHEAS levels get lower as you age. Does this mean that my DHEAS level could get lower in the next months or years? Isn't it too low already?
I don't have any other issues, but I wouldn't like to wait until there is too much damage.
Is this "normal" or should I worry?
Thanks

How did you get these test results without doing it through your doctor, did you go to one of those labs where a person just orders tests on their own? Was the test ordered because you had symptoms? One thing about hormones is that they can be lower or higher even in two tests done in a row. Don't jump to an appointment with an endocrinologist, first talk over the test results with your regular doctor. He or she can tell you if they're normal or not.
