What is Testosterone Free ?
The Free Testosterone test measures the level of testosterone in the bloodstream that is not bound to proteins like sex hormone-binding globulin (SHBG) or albumin. This unbound form of testosterone, known as "free testosterone," is biologically active and directly available for the body’s tissues to use. Testosterone is a crucial hormone for both men and women, playing a vital role in regulating sexual function, bone density, muscle mass, and overall energy levels. This test is often ordered when individuals present with symptoms of hormonal imbalance. In men, low free testosterone levels may cause reduced libido, erectile dysfunction, fatigue, or decreased muscle strength. In women, abnormal free testosterone levels can lead to irregular menstrual cycles, excessive hair growth (hirsutism), or signs of virilization. It is also used to evaluate conditions like polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS), infertility, or suspected androgen disorders.
