Hello and welcome to HCM,
It is initially important to assess your hormonal profile.
You need to get levels of FSH, LH, testosterone and free testosterone tested.
This investigation will assess the hormonal status and if there is any problem in the hormonal status and the level of defect.
A ultrasound and/ or CT abdomen is also required to know the status of adrenal glands.
Pathology of adrenal glands also affects the sex hormones and can produce the above mentioned symptoms.
Thanks and take care
