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.
