Why does testosterone increase?

Answered by Apollo Doctors

I have recently experienced an irregular early period and as advised by my doctor I got a TVS done. I had a polyp removed in May. As per my report I have multiple small follicles in both ovaries. Is this a serious problem or can it be cured with medicine?
