Order Testosterone TestingTestosterone testing measures the amount of testosterone circulating in the blood. Testosterone is a hormone produced primarily in the testes in men and in the ovaries and adrenal glands in women, and it influences muscle mass, bone density, mood, energy, and reproductive function. Because testosterone levels fluctuate throughout the day, the timing of the sample matters, and results are interpreted alongside symptoms and other clinical findings rather than in isolation.
About Testosterone Testing in Monterey
What the panel measures
A testosterone test typically reports total testosterone, which is the combined amount of the hormone bound to proteins and the small fraction that circulates freely. Some panels also include free testosterone, calculated or measured directly, and sex hormone binding globulin, a protein that binds testosterone and affects how much of the hormone is biologically available.
The sample is collected from a vein in the arm, usually in the morning when testosterone concentrations tend to be highest. A single blood draw is standard, though repeat testing on a different day may be requested when results are borderline or when a clinician wants to confirm a pattern.
Results are generally available within one to three business days. Reference ranges vary by laboratory, age, and sex, so a value should be compared against the range provided with the report. Preparation instructions from the lab should be followed, and any medications or supplements that can influence hormone levels should be discussed with a clinician before testing.
