What Causes Low Testosterone Levels?

Hello, I had a complete hysterectomy approximately 6 years ago. I never took HRT because of variety of opinions on its safety. Anyway, I have had bloodwork done in the past and have been told that my testosterone levels are very low - yet I am still having electrolysis done on my face because of facial hair growth. I also have been on spirolactadone (sp?) for several years and I'm wondering why this is still happening??
