A member asked:

I have very high levels of 17 ketosteroids, as a woman. my menstruation appears irregular. one month yes, one not. my free testosterone is ok, and the?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Irreg menses: High ketosteroids may indicate an adrenal malfunction. Such can inhibit regular ovulation, and hence cause irregular menses, since a "true" menstrual flow depends on ovulation to occur approximately 14 days prior to menstrual flow. Ask your healthcare provider to refer you to a reproductive endocrinologist.
