Testosterone levels in female

[J-ROD 1]

My daughter 25yo recently has had he labs checked. They say her levels are to high. She’s having irregular periods. Other than that no other issues. Any ideas on if this is extreme or what to do. Other than find another Dr. because they are no help.

Her cycle will determine the pulsatile release of gonadotropins. Could check for PCOS.

How's her fasting glucose levels? Any suspicion of insulin resistances?

I’ll have her check. The paperwork sent doesn’t say. Of course they give no explanation other that it’s high. No course of action on why or what to do. I said hey I know some people who may have some ideas.

What's with the trend of putting befores on the right and afters on the left? It started with fitness transformation pictures and now we have doctors doing it with lab values.

Trying to confuse everyone I guess. Who knows.

I’d probably get in touch with a female hrt/menopause specialist if there’s some concerns. They will probably have more insight to optimal levels and health.

From my experience many OBGYN have little true knowledge of hormones and their practice is focused on the bread & butter of women’s health….pregnancy, Pap smears, cancer, std’s, etc.

A lot more goes in to a women`s cycle than just her testosterone. Find a new doc and pull a full female panel. Especially because she is not having side effects of high T

She’s working on it. Hopefully she’ll get it straightened out before it becomes a problem. Thanks
