Premenstrual syndrome (PMS) occurrence have more than double over past 50 years due to the acceptance of its as medical condition and caused by unhealthy diet with high in saturated food.

It is said the symptoms can be so severe that between 10-15% of women have to take time off work, costing businesses millions of dollars a year. In this article, we will discuss what exhibits too much androgen to cause PMS.
1. Tumors
Tumors in the adrenal glands and ovaries can cause overproduction of androgens and lead to male body characteristics in women
2. Abnormal function of pituitary gland
Abnormal function of pituitary gland caused by Cushing's disease, increases amounts of androgen being produced.
3. Congenital adrenal hyperplasia
Too much adrogen is also caused by congenital adrenal hyperplasia as resulting of genes mutation for enzymes which mediate the biochemical step in production cortisol from the adrenal gland resulting in more endorgen being produced.
4. Abnormal blood sugar
Imbalance of sugar levels in the bloodstream and high levels of stress stimulate the risk of over production of testosterone from the ovaries and adrenal gland. It is for your own benefit to keep your blood sugar in check and maintain a healthy adrenal gland.
5. High levels of estrogen
Bad estrogen produced by our body depressing the production of sex hormone binding globulin (SHBG) which is produced by liver in fat and protein metabolism resulting in exhibiting testosterone causing high levels of androgen and leading to PMS.
