What is the Testosterone Test?

The total testosterone test detects free and bound testosterone in the blood. Testosterone is a sex hormone found in males and females (in small amounts). Testosterone promotes secondary sexual traits such as enlarged genitals, body hair growth, muscle growth, and voice deepening.

High testosterone levels may indicate testicular or ovarian cancers, whereas low testosterone levels in boys may be due to testicular injury. This test can detect low sex drive, infertility, excessive hair growth, and irregular periods.

How is the test performed?

• The doctor/lab attendant will take blood samples from the arm.
• The site from where the blood is to be withdrawn is cleaned with a swab of rubbing alcohol followed by inserting a small needle which has a tube attached to it for collecting blood.
• Once enough of the blood is taken for analysis, the needle is removed.
• The site is then covered with a gauze.
