What is the Testosterone Blood Test check?

Testosterone is the most important male hormone, with the main action in developing the male reproductive system. Still, it has a significant role in many other areas of health, both in the case of men and women. In men, testosterone is produced in the testicles, and women, in the ovaries. In the case of both sexes, testosterone is made in a significantly reduced amount at the level of the adrenal glands.

Why get a Testosterone test in the UK?

High Testosterone levels may indicate:

• testicular tumours;
• adrenal tumours that produce testosterone;
• early puberty, due to unknown causes, in boys;
• polycystic ovary syndrome;
• an adrenal gland tumour or an ovarian tumour;
• hyperplasia of the adrenal glands.

Low Testosterone levels may indicate:

• Diseases of the pituitary gland or hypothalamic disorders;
• genetic diseases that can cause decreased testosterone production in young men or testicular insufficiency and infertility;
• chronic diseases such as diabetes are also a cause of low testosterone.

Symptoms may be:

• reduced sexual appetite;
• erectile dysfunction;
• a low sperm count;
• swollen or enlarged breast tissue.

• Take a shower before your test or run your hands under warm water, as heat improves blood flow.
• Exercise (move around, walk, etc.) to get the blood flowing.
• Ensure your arm is below your heart level – let gravity do some of the work.
