Low testosterone in women does not necessarily mean premature ovarian failure. Testosterone levels in the body are an important indicator of whether the endocrine system is functioning normally. A decrease in a woman's testosterone levels may indicate an underlying endocrine imbalance. If a patient has organic lesions in organs such as the ovaries or adrenal glands, it is recommended to consume more animal liver and soy products in the coming days to help increase testosterone levels.
