question from a user
Is going over 300+ for a lady similar to staying above 1500 for a gent? Noe my wife is 0.5 nmol, which means she's at an abysmally low level of 15 ng/dl. And ideally, she needs to be at least 4-5 times higher to be at the higher end of 'normal' So, have I done that calculation correctly?
AlphaMD's Answer
The risks are a bit more for women with too much testosterone than men with too much.
They can develop masculinization if they stay at elevated levels for too long.
But yes, 15ng/dL is much lower than would be expected for optimized levels in a woman. She would likely benefit from an adjustment of her dose. She should discuss it with her doctor.
