Testosterone
Description
- This test measures the level of testosterone in the blood. In men, the test may be ordered when infertility is suspected or when a man has a decreased sex drive or erectile dysfunction, lack of beard and body hair, decreased muscle mass, and development of breast tissue (gynecomastia).
- In females, testosterone testing may be done when a woman has irregular or no menstrual periods (amenorrhea), is having difficulty getting pregnant, or appears to have masculine features, such as excessive facial and body hair, male pattern baldness, and/or a low voice.
