TESTOSTERONE

The testosterone test measures the level of testosterone, a key hormone involved in the development of male characteristics and reproductive function, in the blood. This test is used to evaluate androgen status, diagnose hormonal imbalances, and assess conditions such as hypogonadism, infertility, and polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS). Elevated testosterone levels can indicate conditions such as androgen-secreting tumors or hyperthyroidism, while low levels suggest hypogonadism or pituitary disorders. The testosterone test provides valuable information for diagnosing and managing endocrine disorders and guiding treatment decisions.
