    What is a Testosterone - Total Test?

    A Testosterone test evaluates the amount of testosterone hormone present in your blood. Testosterone, the main sex hormone in men, is also present in smaller quantities in women. It is essential for the sexual and reproductive health of both genders. The body functions best when testosterone levels are within their normal range. Deviations from the normal range can lead to health issues for both men and women. Testosterone in the blood exists in bound form (attached to proteins) and free form (not attached to proteins).

    The Total Testosterone test measures both of these forms. This test is frequently used to assess symptoms related to abnormal testosterone levels, such as early or delayed puberty in boys, infertility and low sex drive in men, and conditions like polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) in women, which are often associated with high testosterone levels.

    In stressful environments in cities like Gurgaon, stress can upset hormonal balance, leading to issues like weight gain, hair loss, and mood changes. Early detection through a Testosterone test can help manage these problems.

    Testosterone - Total Test Parameters

    The Testosterone test specifically measures total testosterone – a hormone mostly found in men and often called a “male” sex hormone, but it also exists in women in smaller amounts. The Total Testosterone test measures both types and is often the initial test when abnormal testosterone levels are suspected.

    Testosterone is responsible for the bodily changes seen during male puberty, including increased body hair, muscle development, genital maturation, and voice deepening.

    In men, it aids in sperm maturation and enhances sexual desire. For women, testosterone is important for maintaining healthy organs, bones, and muscles. In males, testosterone is chiefly produced in the testes, while in females, it is produced in the ovaries, with both sexes also generating it in the adrenal glands.

    Testosterone in the body comes in two types: bound and free. Bound testosterone, which is attached to proteins, acts as a reserve and is not immediately available for use. Free testosterone, which is unattached, is readily available for bodily functions.

    If total testosterone levels are low, free testosterone might be checked for more detailed information.

    Testosterone - Total Test Preparation

    Here are some important factors to consider before undergoing a Testosterone test:

    Prerequisites

    Fasting is generally not necessary for this test. If it's combined with other tests that require fasting, your doctor may advise fasting for a few hours before the test.

    The best time to get tested

    The test can be done at any time of the day that fits your schedule.

    Who Should Do the Testosterone Test

    The Testosterone test may be ordered to diagnose the cause of early or delayed puberty. In adults, the test may be recommended for the following reasons:

    Men: Typically advised for symptoms like:

    • Decreased sexual desire

    • Erectile issues

    • Breast enlargement

    • Loss of facial/body hair

    • Low sperm count or fertility issues

    • Reduced muscle mass

    • Weak bones

    • Anaemia

    • Persistent tiredness

    Women: Recommended for those with signs of high testosterone, such as:

    • Excessive hair growth on the face/body

    • Scalp hair thinning

    • Reduced breast size

    • Irregular or missed periods

    • Acne

    • Infertility

    The Testosterone test can be useful to monitor your health if you are taking any medications that impact testosterone levels.

    Cautions before taking Testosterone test

    You may need to stop certain medications before the test, including antifungals like ketoconazole and hormone-based drugs.

    Discuss dietary restrictions with your doctor, as certain foods, and beverages, including some fruits, vegetables, wine, and tea, may affect testosterone levels.

    Why Take a Testosterone - Total Test?

    The purpose of the Testosterone test has been described below:

    Diagnosing Symptoms Linked with Abnormal Testosterone:

    • This test evaluates symptoms of testosterone imbalance and diagnoses disorders affecting its production.

    • In Men: Testosterone naturally declines with age, impacting mood, libido, and muscle mass. Low testosterone may result from testicular issues such as injection or injury), thyroid disorders, chronic illnesses (liver/kidney disease), and pituitary gland dysfunction. High levels of testosterone can indicate adrenal gland disorders, testicular tumours, or steroid use.

    • In Women: Often used to identify high testosterone, which can be caused by PCOS, ovarian tumours, pituitary disorders, or disorders of the adrenal gland.

    Diagnosing Problems with Puberty

    • The test helps determine the causes of delayed puberty, such as Klinefelter syndrome and early puberty, like congenital adrenal hyperplasia.

    Monitoring of Overall Health

    • It's essential for those with a history of abnormal testosterone levels or those on medication that affects testosterone. Transgender men undergoing hormone therapy also require regular testing to monitor hormone levels.

    Interpretation

    In Females: Testosterone levels are typically much lower than in males. Extremely low levels may stem from disorders of the adrenal glands, ovaries, or pituitary gland.

    In males: Major causes of declining testosterone levels include hyperprolactinaemia, severe illness, hypogonadotropic hypogonadism, testicular failure, hypopituitarism, and certain liver and kidney diseases.

    Doctor's Interpretation: Your doctor will evaluate the test results by considering your age, symptoms, health history, and any other tests conducted, and will explain their relevance to you.
