Testosterone
Explanation: Testosterone is a hormone made primarily by the reproductive organ in men and in smaller amounts in women, and the adrenal glands (small organs above the kidneys) in both sexes. It is the main male sex hormone responsible for developing male characteristics like deeper voice, facial hair, muscle growth, bone density and libido (sex drive).
Test purpose: Testing helps identify hormone imbalances, explain symptoms like fatigue or infertility, and monitor treatments for hormone-related conditions in both men and women.
- Detect hormone imbalances: Low or high testosterone can indicate issues like hypogonadism (low testosterone production) or androgen excess.
- Evaluate sexual health: In men, low testosterone can cause reduced sex drive, erectile dysfunction, or infertility. In women, high testosterone may cause excess hair growth (hirsutism), acne, or menstrual problems.
- Assess bone and muscle health: Testosterone is important for maintaining bone density and muscle mass, so low levels may contribute to conditions like osteoporosis.
