（单词翻译:单击）

A woman went to her doctor for a follow-up visit after the doctor had prescribed testosterone (a male hormone) for her. She was a little worried about some of the side effects she was experiencing.

"Doctor, the hormones¹ you've been giving me have really helped, but I'm afraid that you're giving me too much. I've started growing hair in places that I've never grown hair before."

The doctor reassured² her, "A little hair growth is a perfectly³ normal side effect of testosterone. Just where has this hair appeared?"

"On my testicles, which is something else I want to talk to you about...," replied the lady.
