However, the high levels of testosterone [43] in the blood can enlarge the phallus, partially or completely close the vaginal opening, enclose the urethral groove so that it opens at the base of the phallus, on the shaft or even at the tip like a boy. Testosterone can cause the labial skin to become as thin and rugate as a scrotum, [44] [45 ...
Virilization capacity can be assessed by measuring the response to a trial of exogenous androgens; some studies have measured the growth of the phallus in response to exogenous testosterone [35] or dihydrotestosterone, [4] while others have measured the change in sex hormone binding globulin (SHBG) in response to the artificial androgen ...
In some cases, infertile males with MAIS have been able to conceive children after increasing their sperm count through the use of supplementary testosterone. [ 5 ] [ 54 ] A genetic male conceived by a man with AIS would not receive his father's X chromosome , thus would neither inherit nor carry the gene for the syndrome.

Before jumping into the symptoms of low testosterone, it's helpful to have a basic understanding of testosterone and the role the hormone plays in men's health. We've got a whole 101 on ...
In mice, prenatal testosterone transfer causes higher blood concentrations of testosterone in 2M females when compared to 1M or 0M females. [6] This has a variety of consequences on later female behavior, physiology, and morphology. Below is a table comparing physiological, morphological, and behavioral differences of 0M and 2M female mice. [1]
Complete androgen insensitivity syndrome (CAIS) is an AIS condition that results in the complete inability of the cell to respond to androgens. [1] [2] [3] As such, the insensitivity to androgens is only clinically significant when it occurs in individuals who are exposed to significant amounts of testosterone at some point in their lives. [1]
