53+ booked in last 3 daysTest Overview
Testosterone is synthesized by both males and females. Male sex hormones (androgens) include testosterone. Androgens aid sex organ development and other gender-linked traits. Increase in androgen levels causes increased body hair growth which may be indicative of PCOS in women. Low testosterone affects over 25% men in India and is caused by unhealthy lifestyle, including smoking, consuming alcohol and junk food, high stress levels etc. Testosterone tests can also be used to monitor the health of transgenders.
A testosterone levels test measures the amount of testosterone in a blood sample. Although testosterone is considered a "male" sex hormone, females also do have it, albeit in lower levels. Testosterone is by the testes in males and by ovaries and adrenal glands in females.
What is testosterone?
Testosterone is a steroid hormone produced primarily in the testes of males. It is responsible for the development of male secondary sexual characteristics, such as increased muscle and bone mass and body hair growth. It also plays a role in regulating male fertility and overall health and well-being.
