Higher total testosterone level in men may be found with adrenal tumor, adrenal hyperplasia, testicular tumor, and in women may be indicative of polycystic ovaries (PCOS), stroma bubble films hyperplasia, ovaries tumor, adrenal tumor, adrenal hyperplasia. Testosterone plays an important role in health both in men and women, including enhancing sexuality; strength and immunity function, and inhibit osteoporosis.
