Testosterone – Total Test in Bangalore

• No fasting required

The Testosterone test measures the amount of the hormone testosterone in your blood. Testosterone is the primary sex hormone in men but is also found in women in lesser amounts. Sex hormones are responsible for the sexual and reproductive development in both genders. The body functions optimally when testosterone levels are within normal range. A testosterone level that is too high or too low can cause health problems in men and women.

Testosterone circulates in the blood as bound testosterone (attached to proteins) and free testosterone (unbound to proteins). The Total Testosterone test measures the total (free and bound) testosterone level in the blood. It is a common test done to evaluate symptoms of high or low testosterone levels. It helps diagnose the cause of problems like early or delayed puberty in boys, low sex drive and infertility due to low testosterone in men, and conditions such as polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) in women that are often associated with high testosterone levels.

Stress can disrupt the hormonal balance, leading to symptoms such as weight gain, hair loss, and mood changes. In bustling cities like Bangalore where stress levels are on the rise, getting a Testosterone test can help identify and manage hormonal problems early
