What Testosterone measures
Testosterone is a sex hormone present in both men and women, produced mainly by the testes, ovaries and adrenal glands. The total testosterone test measures the overall amount circulating in the blood.
Why it is tested
Testosterone is measured when assessing symptoms related to hormone balance, energy, libido or reproductive health. It is frequently interpreted alongside SHBG and the free androgen index.

Frequently asked questions
Do women have testosterone too?
Yes. Testosterone is present in everyone, though typically at lower levels in women, and is measured in both sexes when investigating hormone-related symptoms.
Does the time of day matter?
Testosterone naturally varies through the day and is often highest in the morning, so samples are commonly taken earlier in the day. Your clinician will advise on timing.
