DHEA-So4 (Dehydroepiandrosterone)

People commonly use prescription DHEA for vaginal tissue thinning. DHEA supplements are used for aging skin, depression, infertility, muscle strength, heart disease, erectile dysfunction (ED), and many other conditions, but there is no good scientific evidence to support many of these other uses.

Symptoms of high levels of DHEAS in women and girls may include: Excess body and facial hair growth. Deepening of voice. Menstrual irregularities.

Although DHEA-sulfate is the most abundant hormone in the body, its exact function is still not known. In men, the male hormone effect may not be important if testosterone level is normal. In women, DHEA contributes to normal libido and sexual satisfaction. DHEA may also have effects on the immune system.
