Diabetes
The connection? Weight fluctuations related to diabetes may be partially responsible for testosterone levels to spike. Unfortunately, because testosterone plays a role in so many bodily functions in both men and women, many diseases and disorders can affect it. If you are suffering from any of these illnesses, it may be the cause of your high testosterone: adrenal neoplasm disorders, Cushing’s syndrome, ovarian tumors, Conn’s syndrome, congenital adrenal hyperplasia and thyroid disorders.
