A member asked:
Can too much natural testosterone production in a male cause polycythemia vera?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Terminology: Polycythemia vera is a cancer of red blood cells. What do you mean by natural testosterone? Taking testosterone supplements, not a good idea, may raise RBC count but that does not constitute polycythemia vera.
