A member asked:
Will metformin reduce testosterone if it's coming from some where other than ovary? thanks. my testosterone is 3xs normal. thanks
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Testosterone: Testosterone 3 times normal in a 41 year old woman is hard to explain and needs to be carefully examined by an Endocrinologist. Why are you on Metformin? Presumably for control of diabetes, but you can get rid of diabetes if Metformin is your only medicine. Your doctor should be able to help you with this. Please let me know how things are going.
