Testosterone Test

The Testosterone Test measures the amount of testosterone hormone in the blood. Testosterone is a primary male sex hormone, but it is also produced in smaller amounts in females. In men, it is responsible for the development of male reproductive tissues, muscle mass, bone density, facial hair, deep voice, and sexual drive. In women, it plays a role in ovarian function, bone strength, and libido.

This test is primarily used to:

• Evaluate male fertility

• Detect low testosterone (hypogonadism)

• Diagnose erectile dysfunction

• Monitor hormonal imbalance in women

• Assess prostate disorders

• Detect early signs of prostate cancer

Low testosterone levels in men can cause infertility, reduced libido, fatigue, erectile dysfunction, muscle weakness, and mood disturbances. High testosterone levels in women may indicate PCOS and hormonal imbalance, leading to irregular periods and excessive hair growth.

The Testosterone Test plays a critical role in reproductive health management and hormone-related disorders.

This is a serum blood hormone test used to measure total testosterone levels in males and females.
