A member asked:

What does it mean if i have elevated dhea levels and normal testosterone levels?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

You are: Probably overweight, Insulin resistant and may have some early features of abnormal hair growth and virilization. Talk w/your doctor. You probably need weight loss and potentially medication like metformin. If your dhea level is very high, further w/u is indicated.
