NABL & ICMRAccreditedThe Testosterone test is a blood test used to determine the level of testosterone in your bloodstream. Testosterone is the main sex hormone in men but is also found in lesser quantities in women. It is critical for sexual and reproductive health in both sexes. The body functions best when testosterone levels are within their normal range.
Abnormally high or low levels can cause health problems in both men and women. In the blood, testosterone exists in two forms: bound (attached to proteins) and free (not attached to proteins). The Total Testosterone test measures the total amount of both types. This test is typically used to diagnose symptoms associated with abnormal testosterone levels, including early or delayed puberty in boys, low sex drive and infertility in men, and conditions such as polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) in women that are often linked to high testosterone levels.
Stress, which is common in busy lifestyles in cities like Noida, can disrupt hormonal balance, leading to symptoms like mood changes, weight gain, and hair loss. Conducting a Testosterone test at home can help in identifying and managing these issues early.
The Testosterone test evaluates only one parameter – total testosterone – a hormone predominantly present in men and commonly referred to as a "male" sex hormone, though it also exists in women in lesser amounts. This hormone is responsible for the physical changes observed during male puberty, such as increased body hair, muscle development, genital maturation, and voice deepening. In men, testosterone is crucial for the maturation of sperm and enhancing sex drive. In women, it plays a role in maintaining healthy organs, bones, and muscles. Testosterone is mainly produced in the testes for males and the ovaries for females, with contributions from the adrenal glands in both genders.
In the body, testosterone is found in two forms: bound (attached to proteins) and free (unattached to proteins). Bound testosterone acts as a reserve and is not immediately available, while free testosterone is readily accessible for bodily functions.
The Total Testosterone test measures both bound and free testosterone and is typically the first test conducted when there are concerns about abnormal testosterone levels. Additional tests for free testosterone might be done if the total testosterone level is low to provide more detailed information.
Here are some essential points before undergoing a Testosterone test:
Prerequisites
This test can be taken at any time during the day, based on your convenience.
The best time to get tested
Fasting is not generally required. If the test is paired with other tests that require fasting, your doctor may suggest fasting for a few hours.
Who Should Do the Testosterone Test
The test is useful for diagnosing issues related to early or delayed puberty. The test may also be recommended for screening of symptoms associated with high or low testosterone in men and women. Men may have the following symptoms of low testosterone:
Reduced sex drive
Problems with erections
Breast enlargement
Lack of facial or body hair
Fertility issues including low sperm count
Muscle mass reduction
Weak bones
Anaemia
Chronic tiredness
Women may have the following symptoms indicating high testosterone levels:
Excessive facial or body hair growth
Scalp hair loss
Decreased breast size
Irregular or absent menstrual cycles
Acne
Difficulty in conceiving
The Testosterone test can also be used to monitor health if you are on medications that affect testosterone levels.
Cautions before taking Testosterone test
You may need to stop certain medications before the test, such as antifungal drugs like ketoconazole and hormonal treatments.
Discuss any necessary dietary restrictions with your doctor, as some foods and drinks, including fruits, vegetables, wine, and tea, may influence testosterone levels.
The Testosterone test may be suggested for several reasons:
Diagnosing Abnormal Testosterone Levels
The Testosterone test helps evaluate symptoms of high or low testosterone and detect conditions associated with it.
For Males: Aging can cause a natural decline in testosterone. Low testosterone levels can lead to mood issues, lack of libido, and low muscle mass. Testosterone levels can also be depleted due to chronic diseases of the kidney and liver, thyroid issues, testicular issues (injury/ infection), pituitary gland disorders, and so on. Testosterone levels can rise due to conditions like steroid use, adrenal disorders, and testicular tumours. Testing helps identify all these issues.
For Females: The Testosterone test for females can be ordered to detect conditions associated with high testosterone such as pituitary disorders, ovarian tumours, PCOS, and adrenal gland disorders.
Detecting Puberty Issues in Teenagers
The test helps identify the causes of early puberty such as congenital adrenal hyperplasia and Klinefelter syndrome which can occur due to delayed puberty.
Health Monitoring
Testosterone blood tests become important for those with a history of abnormal testosterone levels or those taking medications affecting testosterone. Regular testing is also crucial for transgender men on masculinizing hormone therapy to monitor hormone levels.
The following tables can help you interpret the results of the Testosterone blood test. It is important to remember that the results can vary as per age and gender.

Interpretation
In males: Low topterone can be due to conditions like hypogonadotropic hypogonadism, hyperprolactinaemia, testicular failure, hypopituitarism, severe illness, and certain liver and kidney diseases.
In Females: Testosterone levels are generally much lower than in males. Extremely low levels may be due to disorders in the adrenal glands, ovaries, or pituitary gland.
Interpretation of Results: Your doctor will analyse the test results considering your age, symptoms, health history, and any other test results, and will explain their significance.
