Elevated Testosterone PCOS?!
Question: I have elevated testosterone one doctor (my GP) said that it could be PCOS and my GYN said no. He said no because I do not fit any other symptoms - I looked them up also, and it's true, I don't have any. I also had a laparoscopy to remove a large function - corpus luteum cyst (a cyst from ovulation that never went away) and other than that my ovaries were fine. I always have regular periods - don't skip a beat. Are there other reasons for elevated testosterone? Can women just have it normally and not be indicative of a problem?

You might have naturally elevated testosterone, or it could be due to malfunction of your adrenal glands. If you otherwise seem to be healthy, you may have no caus to worry.
