Yes, females produce very low amount of testosterone.

Dr. Siri Suggests...

Take a Tissue Transglutaminase Antibody - IgG Test or Take a MATERNAL SERUM SCREENING - TRIPLE MARKER (SECOND TRIMESTER) Test

Hello, yesterday I had an ultrasound and according to my report, there is a cyst of 30 mm. I am running late by 20 days in my period and have tested 5 times, all negative. Please help. What is the reason behind not getting my period and how can I get it back to normal?

Answered by Apollo Doctors

I have been experiencing sudden irregular periods (3 times in the last month), cystic acne on my chin, and weight loss over the past few months. My blood test revealed low iron (report attached). Could you please advise what might be the root cause of these symptoms? Could this be related to a hormonal imbalance? Is the iron deficiency due to internal bleeding or polyps?
