Inadequate data: There is inadequate data to give an opinion. Please clarify the reason why you were prescribed testosterone . It is very unusual to see testosterone implant therapy used in a female. Also please give precise details of the testosterone level ( total or free or bioavailable ?) and the lab value with units.
