Description
About Testosterone Test
The Testosterone Test measures the levels of testosterone, a vital hormone produced primarily in the testes (in men) ...
and the ovaries (in women), with small amounts secreted by the adrenal glands. It plays a crucial role in sexual development, muscle mass, bone strength, and overall reproductive health.
There are two main types of testosterone tests:
- Total Testosterone Test – Measures both free testosterone (active) and bound testosterone (attached to proteins).
- Free Testosterone Test – Measures only the active, unbound form of testosterone in the blood.
When is the Testosterone Level Test Prescribed?
For Men:
Doctors recommend the Testosterone Test if a patient shows symptoms of low or high testosterone levels, such as:
Low Testosterone (Hypogonadism)
- Reduced sex drive (low libido)
- Erectile dysfunction (impotence)
- Fatigue, depression, or irritability
- Loss of muscle mass and strength
- Increased body fat or gynecomastia (enlarged breasts in men)
- Hair loss and reduced beard growth
High Testosterone
- Unusual aggression or mood swings
- Excessive body or facial hair growth
- Acne and oily skin
For Women:
Doctors may prescribe the test if a woman has:
- Irregular menstrual cycles
- Excessive hair growth (hirsutism)
- Deepening voice or muscle gain (signs of high androgens)
- Infertility issues
- Polycystic Ovary Syndrome (PCOS)
For Children:
- Boys: Delayed or early puberty (early deepening of voice, increased body hair, or muscle growth)
- Girls: Signs of excessive male hormones (virilization)
Preparation for the Testosterone Test
- Fasting is usually not required, but follow your doctor’s advice.
- The test is usually done in the morning (between 7-10 AM) when testosterone levels are at their peak.
- Avoid heavy exercise before the test, as it may affect levels.
- Inform your doctor about any medications, especially:
- Steroids or hormone therapy
- Anticonvulsants
- Barbiturates
- For accurate results, women should schedule the test based on their menstrual cycle phase, if advised by a doctor.
Time Required for Testosterone Test Report
- Blood Sample Collection: A small blood sample is drawn from a vein in your arm.
- Processing Time: The report is usually available within 24 hours to 48 hours.
- Next Steps:
- If low testosterone levels are detected, further tests like LH, FSH, and SHBG may be recommended.
- If high testosterone levels are found, additional tests for PCOS, adrenal tumors, or androgen excess might be needed.
- Doctors may suggest hormone replacement therapy (HRT), lifestyle changes, or medical treatments depending on the cause.
