Patient's question:
I have been married to my husband for over a year. In this time, we have had sex many times without using any contraception, but we still haven't gotten pregnant. When I went to the hospital for a thorough check-up, the results showed high testosterone levels. I didn't quite understand what the doctor said while I was at the hospital. Could you please explain what high testosterone levels mean?Doctor's answer:
If a couple engages in sexual activity without using contraception and does not get pregnant within a year, it is certainly abnormal. Women should carefully check for recurring high testosterone levels, which indicates an excess of male hormones in the body, and should also examine whether they have polycystic ovary syndrome. It is recommended to consume more foods rich in natural estrogen, such as drinking chicken soup with wolfberry, tofu, black fungus, and black sesame seeds.
