Total Testosterone Blood Test
Testosterone is responsible for many essential characteristics and functions within the male body. Testosterone is usually found in the blood of both men and woman. A testosterone test can help you determine if your testosterone level is within the normal range for your age.
This test measures the total level of testosterone in the body, which is one of the factors responsible for regulating sex drive (libido), bone mass, fat distribution, muscle mass, and production of red blood cells and sperm.
Note: This testosterone test is only clinically appropriate for men. If you are a woman seeking a testosterone test, you should contact your healthcare provider.
