Testosterone Free and Total Blood Test

Also Known As

Free Testosterone, Serum Testosterone, Total Testosterone

Purpose of the Free and Total Testosterone Blood Test

Testosterone is an important hormone for men’s health, but women need it, too, so everyone should monitor their levels. If your testosterone is too high or too low, it can trigger symptoms ranging from anger and weight gain (in men) to polycystic ovarian syndrome and excessive hair growth (in women). Testosterone is responsible for fertility, blood cell production, mental health, and so much more that contributes to your overall health, so lab tests for testosterone can be a helpful tool for maintaining an ideal state of well-being.

What Does the Testosterone Lab Test Measure?

The testosterone free and total blood test tells you how much of the hormone you have in your body. It measures not just the testosterone that is attached to proteins in your body (which helps control its release) but also free testosterone that is not attached to proteins.

Who Should Take a Lab Test for Testosterone?

Men and women may want to take a testosterone lab test if they are suffering symptoms or medical conditions associated with abnormal levels. For instance, men with obesity, liver, or thyroid disorders may need to have their testicular function checked to ensure they have proper testosterone production. Women may get tested if they have masculine traits, such as facial or chest hair or a very deep voice.

Testosterone Blood Work Preparation

You don’t need to follow any special instructions to prepare for your testosterone blood work.
