TESTOSTERONE

The Testosterone test has been commonly known as a T-test. This test on the blood helps to measure the extent to which testosterone is produced in the body. This medical test has been advised to be taken if the person showing concern displays any symptoms relating to the gamma or divergence in hormone production within the bodily system, including loss of libido, fatigue, and/or mood disorders. This medical test has been proven to provide critical information regarding reproductive health.

A Testosterone test in Jaipur gives the overall level of testosterone and in some cases, even the components such as free testosterone and SHBG. These can give an idea about conditions like hypogonadism, PCOS, among others. Since this particular test is a major component in a diagnosis, it is significant that it be justly correct.

A Testosterone test includes several parameters. Individually they may look confusing, but when seen together they give useful information about your health and body condition.

Key Testosterone Related Parameters

• Total Testosterone: That provides the overall level of testosterone circulating in your blood, both free and bound. Low total testosterone is the most common reason for all kinds of symptoms, such as low energy, low sex drive, and muscle weakness.
• Free Testosterone: This is a quantitative test of testosterone not bound by proteins and hence it may be utilized by the body tissues. This is considered to be a truer indicator of biologically active testosterone.
• Sex Hormone Binding Globulin (SHBG): A protein in the blood that binds testosterone and other sex hormones, carrying it around. High SHBG could mean low free testosterone despite normal total testosterone levels.
• Albumin: Another protein that binds to testosterone, but less tightly than SHBG. It's considered in calculating bioavailable testosterone.
• Bioavailable Testosterone: It is the measure of the free portion of the total testosterone that is available to be taken up by the cell. It may be calculated from total testosterone, SHBG, and albumin.
• Luteinizing Hormone (LH) & Follicle-Stimulating Hormone (FSH): Often measured alongside testosterone to assess pituitary gland function, which regulates testosterone production.

Precise communication of these details is necessary, which is why professional clinical labs adhere to a set of guidelines when it comes to standard blood work.

Testosterone Test may be recommended if symptoms are not very specific and linger for a period in conditions such as:

• Persistent fatigue 
• Low energy levels
• Decreased libido
• Erectile dysfunction or infertility in men
• Weight gain 
• Muscle mass loss
• Mood swings 
• Depression
• Hair loss or thinning in men 
• Increased body hair in women
• Irregular menstrual cycles or acne in women, indicative of PCOS

In many cases, people don’t notice many symptoms, yet testosterone testing still helps in early detection of issues.

Getting a Testosterone test in Jaipur helps in early detection of health issues before they become serious. It gives doctors a clear starting point for diagnosis and treatment planning.

• Helps identify hormonal imbalances
• Useful for understanding the cause of fatigue, low libido, or mood changes

• Often included in fertility assessments and comprehensive health checkups
• Simple blood test with quick sample collection
• Cost-effective diagnostic test with wide health insights

Generally, the testosterone test has to be conducted during the morning hours 7 to 10 AM since the levels of testosterone vary from time to time. It is also a good practice to either fast before the test or not. You can always check the requirement of fasting from the concerned path lab or the referring physician in the city of Jaipur before proceeding for the test.

Do not indulge in any physical activity before the test, and it is best that you have a proper night’s sleep before the test. Relaxed conditions at the time of sample collection also contribute significantly to maintaining consistent test results. Good labs ensure that this happens through qualified phlebotomy staff and proper procedures for blood collection.

Normal ranges may slightly vary depending on age, gender, and lab method. Some commonly used reference ranges include:
 

Parameter	Normal Range (Adult Men)	Normal Range (Adult Women)
Total Testosterone	300 – 1000 ng/dL	15 – 70 ng/dL
Free Testosterone	50 – 200 pg/mL	0.5 – 9 pg/mL
SHBG	10 – 50 nmol/L	20 – 120 nmol/L

Testosterone reports should always be reviewed by a doctor, as numbers alone don’t give the full picture in most cases.
