A testosterone levels test is used to detect conditions caused by too little or too much testosterone in the blood. Total testosterone levels that are outside of a normal range can lead to changes in the physical appearance and health of the person. The test allows doctors to diagnose the issues caused by abnormal testosterone levels and monitor a patient’s response to the treatment.
Overview of the Testosterone Total Test
Testosterone is the male sex hormone, produced primarily by the testes in males and in smaller amounts by the ovaries in women. It is also produced by the adrenal glands in both men and women. During the age of puberty, testosterone plays a vital role in the development of muscles, hair growth in the body, and a deepening voice. Also, in adult life in men, testosterone helps maintain muscle mass, controls sex drives, and helps produces sperm along with other hormones. While it is found in smaller amounts in women, it helps in the development of healthy organs, maintains hormone balance, and regulates other body functions. Too little testosterone in men and too much in women can be signs of some health issues. The testosterone serum test is done to check the level of testosterone in a blood sample.
A testosterone test can be booked at a nominal price at any reputed lab in India.
