Testosterone<\/a> is a hormone responsible for male sex characteristics, sperm creation, and fertility. Both males and females produce testosterone in their bodies, but males typically have much higher levels of it. Over time, it\u2019s normal for testosterone to decrease with age.<\/p>\n

Like other hormone types, there\u2019s a chance that someone can have abnormal testosterone levels. High levels of testosterone in females may indicate polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS)<\/a>, adrenal tumors, ovarian tumors, or hermaphroditism (having both female and male sex organs).<\/p>\n\t\t

Normal female testosterone levels by age<\/h2>\n

Hormone levels, including testosterone, change as people age. Testosterone levels typically decrease as people get older, and this can lead to a \u201closs of production from the ovaries and adrenal glands in women and mainly the testes in men,\u201d says Bruce Dorr, MD<\/a>, an OB-GYN based in Littleton, Colorado, and senior medical adviser at Biote<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Testosterone levels are measured and reported as nanograms per deciliter (ng\/dL). Kecia Gaither, MD<\/a>, an OB-GYN and director of perinatal services and maternal-fetal medicine at NYC Health + Hospitals<\/a> in Bronx, New York, says that the normal testosterone levels for women are typically between 9\u201355 ng\/dL. In comparison, normal testosterone levels for men ages 19 years and older are typically between 240\u2013950 ng\/dL.<\/p>\n

Below is a chart representing the normal range for female testosterone levels by age and ng\/dL.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

High testosterone in women<\/h2>\n

It\u2019s important to note that for people assigned female at birth (AFAB), there\u2019s no exact number for determining high testosterone levels, also known as hyperandrogenism<\/a>.<\/p>\n

\u201cThere are no established optimal testosterone levels for women, so most clinicians use a lab reference range to diagnose a woman with high testosterone,\u201d Dr. Dorr says. \u201cThe lab ranges, however, can vary greatly from highs of 40 to 120 ng\/dl.\u201d<\/p>\n

Aside from the available clinical references, high testosterone levels in women are often associated with certain medical conditions<\/a>, such as:<\/p>\n
