What Can I Learn From This Test

Testosterone is a vital hormone for both men and women. If low, testosterone replacement therapy is a option to help restore your levels and improve symptoms.  In men testosterone is produced in the testes and is vital for almost every function in the body.  Women actually produce 3x the amount of testosterone than they do oestrogen! Factors such as age, stress, illness, medications, and certain medical conditions can influence testosterone levels. Symptoms of low testosterone include:

  • low libido
  • fatigue
  • mood swings
  • infertility
  • memory problems

Having chronically low testosterone can make you feel miserable and affect relationships. This check will check to see if your levels are low by comparing your levels against national guidelines.

Biomarkers Tested

Testosterone

Testosterone is a hormone responsible for male characteristics. In men, it regulates sex drive and influences bone mass, fat distribution, muscle mass, strength, as well as the production of red blood cells and sperm. Produced in the testicles of men and to a lesser extent in the ovaries of women, testosterone levels naturally decline in men after the age of 30. However, levels below normal can occur at any age and may result in low libido, erectile dysfunction, challenges in gaining and maintaining muscle mass, and a lack of energy.

While women have significantly lower testosterone levels than men, the hormone is crucial for similar reasons, impacting libido, muscle and fat distribution, and the formation of red blood cells. Reference ranges for testosterone levels vary among laboratories based on the tested population, and the normal range is set to encompass 95% of men. For consistency, guidance from the British Society for Sexual Medicine (BSSM) suggests that consistently low testosterone, as well as levels below 12 nmol/L, may be considered low, especially in men reporting symptoms or having low levels of free testosterone.
