Blood Testosterone
The hormone testosterone is important because this hormone plays a crucial role in several bodily processes. In men, testosterone affects muscle mass, bone density, libido, mood and energy levels. Abnormal testosterone levels can indicate medical conditions such as hypogonadism, polycystic ovarian syndrome (PCOS) in women, or problems with the pituitary gland or adrenal glands. Also, measuring testosterone can help diagnose fertility problems, monitor hormonal therapies, and evaluate health with aging.
