We dive into five key signs of high testosterone in women, exploring how hormonal imbalances manifest in the body and what each symptom might reveal about your health. This mini-episode offers practical insights to help you decode your body's hormonal signals and understand when testosterone might be playing a role in your symptoms.
• Facial hair growth, especially coarse chin hairs, often indicates elevated testosterone or androgen levels
• Jawline and chin acne can be connected to hormones due to higher concentration of androgen receptors in these areas
• Midsection weight retention may signal higher androgens, particularly during perimenopause or menopause
• Irregular cycles or fertility challenges can result from testosterone's impact on follicle development and ovulation
• PCOS typically requires two of three criteria: irregular cycles, high androgens, or ovarian cysts
