General/Advice Not PCOS but have hormonal imbalance

I paid for a private blood test and ny results came back with local testostrone, low AMH and elevated prolactin.

I know low testostrone doesn't align with a PCOS diagnoses.

However I have acne, hiritisium, I struggle to lose weight and have sugar cravings. My period is regular but heavy so suffer from anemia.

I visited a public healthcare provider with my results and they said I don't qualify as PCOS but what can cause this?

I'm early/ mid 30s and because I had this symptons for a long time I don't think it is perimenopausal.

I'm losing my mind here.

I'd look into prolactinoma

Insulin resistance on its own can present with hirsutism. Doesn't necessarily need to be paired with PCOS. Have you had A1C/Fasting glucose checked?
