About Testosterone Testing in Poughkeepsie
Testosterone is a hormone produced primarily in the testes in males and in smaller amounts by the ovaries and adrenal glands in females.
Blood testosterone exists in several forms. Most is bound to proteins such as sex hormone-binding globulin (SHBG) and albumin, while a small fraction circulates unbound. Testing may measure total testosterone, which includes bound and unbound hormone, or free testosterone, which reflects only the unbound portion.
Because testosterone levels fluctuate throughout the day, samples are often collected in the morning when concentrations tend to be highest. Results are interpreted alongside the person's age, sex, symptoms, and any medications that can influence hormone levels.
Testosterone testing is commonly ordered to investigate delayed puberty, infertility, erectile dysfunction, menstrual irregularities, or symptoms such as fatigue, reduced libido, and unexplained changes in muscle or bone mass. It may also be used to monitor hormone therapy.
