Question : I am a 35 year old female. I recently got blood test results back. My Testosterone Total is 358.7. My free testosterone us 105.04. My sex hormone bind. glob is 14. What could this mean?
Brief Answer:
Testosterone
Detailed Answer:
This levels seem high but to be certain I need to be sure the units of measurement were conventional.
It would be important to glance at the laboratory report and see the ranges for normal.
If standard units are used then these are clearly very high for a female.
Levels like this are typically seen in men.
Do you have any symptoms such as deepening of your voice, or recent muscular built or loss of female body contours?
It would also be desirable to have routine labs in place such as
CBC
CMP
TSH
