Acne, Women, Hormones and Polycystic Ovary DiseaseWritten by Naweko San-Joyz
More frequently women are combating acne and wrinkles simultaneously. It’s a hideous fight wrought with mysterious hormone signals and an even more baffling search for a cure. Dermatologist Diane Thiboutot, MD, associate professor of medicine at Milton S. Hershey Medical Center, Hershey, Pa., proposes to clarify acne options for women. Dr. Thiboutot explains that control of acne is an ongoing process and that all acne treatments work by preventing new acne. While most women suffering from adult acne seek standard treatments such as topical preparations or antibiotics, 60 percent of these femmes either do not respond to standard acne treatments or build up a tolerance to frequently prescribed medications such as antibiotics. Causes of Adult Acne It is not yet known exactly what causes adult acne, but several dermatologist link adult acne to hormone fluctuations. Acne in a woman is often linked to her menstrual cycle. Women with premenstrual acne outbreaks, such as pimples on lower face and neck, seem to respond particularly well to treatment with medications that either reduce or block androgen production. Androgen hormones create male traits in women such as a deepening of voice, an increased libido or hirsutism that causes excessive or abnormal growth of hair. They also stimulate oil glands. The oil mixes with skin cells and bacteria, causing inflammation in skin that can result in arrival of zits. You can forgo androgen blocking hormones by properly consuming essential fatty acids such as those found in salmon and olive oil. Before your dermatologist prescribes hormone therapy, she may perform a standard screening that includes two hormones - testosterone and DHEAS (dehydroepiandrosterone sulfate). It is important that you stop taking oral contraceptives for at least one month before any tests are performed because birth control pills can suppress androgens. The birth control pill is a centerpiece of hormonal therapy, albeit a bemoaned option. The medications most successfully employed in controlling acne contain a hormone called progestin with low androgenic activity (with generic pharmaceutical names such as norgestimate or desogestrel) combined with 35 micrograms of ethinyl estradiol, an estrogen.

We hold key to their need for sex and desire that’s why some men feel weak in presence of women they are attracted to. Being a woman is a very powerful thing, we can do anything we set our mind to. We have so much power, we are creative in everything we do, we give birth to our children, we are sisters, best friends, mothers and daughters, we like to make everything around us beautiful. Men are happy when they are married, but it is us who always press for marriage, because like in all fairy tales we sometimes believe that getting married is way to living happily ever after, but what princess in fairy tales never tells us what happens after. Will we be happy? When our expectation fall short we put blame on men. Some men lose satisfaction they got out of bringing happiness to women they married, they can’t compete with a women who complains and tries to manipulate them, and is disappointed in them, he will get defensive and love dies.
