A member asked:
Can elevated testosterone levels from pcos cause secondary erythrocytosis?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Unlikely: I have never heard of high testosterone levels associated with PCOS causing erythrocytosis. Receiving testosterone (typically by injection) can do this, but you need very high testosterone levels.
