What is Testosterone Total ?
The Total Testosterone test measures the combined levels of both free testosterone (unbound and biologically active) and testosterone bound to proteins, such as sex hormone-binding globulin (SHBG) and albumin, in the bloodstream. Testosterone is a vital hormone in both men and women, responsible for regulating sexual function, muscle and bone strength, energy levels, and mood. This test is commonly used to investigate symptoms of testosterone imbalance. In men, low testosterone levels might cause fatigue, reduced libido, erectile dysfunction, and decreased muscle mass. High levels, although rare, may be linked to conditions like anabolic steroid use or certain tumors. In women, abnormal testosterone levels may lead to irregular periods, excessive hair growth (hirsutism), or polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS). Doctors also use the Total Testosterone test to assess fertility issues, monitor testosterone replacement therapy, or diagnose endocrine disorders. It serves as a crucial tool for identifying and managing a variety of hormonal and metabolic conditions.
