What causes low testosterone levels in women?

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?

My sister, 35 years old, was advised a hormone test due to severe acne. I have attached the results. Is the blood report normal? Does elevated DHEAS require any treatment?
