estrogen dominance?

Does anyone have info on estrogen dominance and CAH?

As in lowering the dose of cortisone makes the androgens rise out of "normal zone" thus making estrogen rise higher also.

I’ve been wondering about this since a dose change a couple of years ago that I don’t have to shave under my arms or legs anymore --- baby smooth all the time---this is very strange for someone that was once the furry side-- I got the crap teased out of me all the time for it. My arms also just have light wispy blond hair whereas before I would periodically have a "Nair Night" and coat myself in hair remover.

Upon the discovery of my gyno cancer tumor last year on the ultrasound there also was an ovarian cyst.

I keep waiting to have hairy arms/ legs again since cancer treament forwarded me into menopause which I haven’t had any trouble with but I now have a bigger booty and needed a bigger bra size. With menopause, I would think something like that shouldn’t happen.

I know that estrogen dominance isn’t a good thing because of the possible medical issues and was wondering if this might been the reason for these changes. Or this could be nothing and just what happens when someone with CAH gets older although I don’t look a day over 25 ......really.
