This needs to be checked further. You need to have the testosterone
evaluated again. Since we don't usually get testosterone levels on 19
year old, the incidence isn't known. If things aren't just right, seek
the guidance of a reproductive endocrinologist or a medical
endocrinologist.
Hope this helps and write back anytime for more information.
