Excess androgens may lead to female infertility, testicular tumors, and other symptoms. When androgen levels in the body are too high, hormonal imbalance can occur, resulting in endocrine disorders and subsequently causing infertility. In male patients, androgen levels typically range from 20% to 30%; males are the primary beneficiaries of these hormone levels. However, elevated androgens could also be associated with tumors such as testicular tumors, adrenal tumors, malignant lesions, or hypothalamic-pituitary tumors.
