Order Testosterone TestingTestosterone testing measures the amount of testosterone in the blood. Testosterone is a hormone produced primarily in the testes in men and in the ovaries and adrenal glands in women, and it plays a role in muscle mass, bone density, sex drive, and mood. Because levels fluctuate throughout the day and vary by age and sex, the test is interpreted against reference ranges specific to the individual.
About Testosterone Testing in Poway
Testosterone testing is used to evaluate hormone levels when symptoms suggest an excess or deficiency.
A testosterone test typically measures total testosterone, which includes hormone bound to proteins and hormone that is free in the bloodstream. Some panels also report free testosterone or bioavailable testosterone, which may be useful when total levels are borderline or when binding proteins are abnormal.
The sample is collected from a vein in the arm, usually in the morning when testosterone levels tend to be highest. Results are generally available within one to three business days, though the exact timeframe depends on the laboratory performing the analysis.
Results are interpreted alongside symptoms, medical history, and sometimes repeat measurements, since a single value can be affected by time of day, sleep, stress, medications, and underlying health conditions.
