Is a 58-year-old woman with low testosterone going through menopause?

Patient's question:

On the day before the menstrual period, the serum test results are as follows. Could you please help me confirm the diagnosis with a doctor? Thank you! 1, Luteinizing hormone 6.28; 2, Follicle-stimulating hormone 9.35; 3, Testosterone 0.3; 4, Estradiol 115.1; 5, Progesterone 3.82; 6, Prolactin 8.8.

Doctor's answer:

Hello, according to your description, your hormone levels do not seem to be a manifestation of declining ovarian function during perimenopause. Additionally, the testosterone reference range in our hospital is 0.22-0.82, so in this case, yours is not low. However, I do not know what the reference range is in your hospital. I suggest you do not get anxious. For women, low testosterone is not a problem, but high testosterone requires caution. Moreover, testosterone levels decline during perimenopause.
