About Testosterone Testing in Petaluma
Testosterone is a steroid hormone produced mainly by the testes in males and by the ovaries and adrenal glands in females.
A testosterone profile typically reports total testosterone, which includes hormone bound to proteins and the small unbound fraction. Some panels add free testosterone, calculated from total testosterone and sex hormone-binding globulin, and may include related markers such as luteinizing hormone or follicle-stimulating hormone.
The sample is collected from a vein in the arm, usually in the morning because testosterone levels follow a daily rhythm and tend to be highest early in the day. Timing matters when results are compared against reference ranges.
Results are generally available within one to three business days. Values are reported against ranges that differ by sex, age, and the laboratory method used, so a result outside a given range is a finding to discuss with a clinician rather than a diagnosis on its own.
