Testosterone Plus Profile

What can I expect from Testosterone Plus Profile?

The Testosterone Plus Profile measures Total Testosterone, Albumin and Sex Hormone Binding Globulin (SHBG) which together provide a very accurate level of Free (available) Testosterone in the blood. 

This provides a much more precise picture of whether you have problems with Testosterone levels.

This test is commonly done to evaluate and diagnose conditions related to testosterone imbalance, such as:

Hypogonadism: It helps determine if a person has low testosterone levels, which can lead to symptoms like decreased libido, fatigue, muscle weakness, and infertility.

Erectile dysfunction: Testosterone levels are checked to assess if low testosterone is contributing to the condition.

Infertility: It helps identify if low testosterone is a potential cause of male infertility.

Delayed or early puberty: The test can be used to evaluate the timing of puberty in children and adolescents.

Polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS): In females, testosterone levels may be measured to diagnose or monitor PCOS, a hormonal disorder that affects the ovaries.

Monitoring hormone replacement therapy: For individuals undergoing testosterone replacement therapy, regular testing is done to ensure appropriate hormone levels are maintained. 

Testosterone levels must be checked regularly by anyone using testosterone supplements for any reason.

You can have too much or too little testosterone.

The only way to find out is with a blood test.

Please note: Optimal time to take your sample is between 7am - 10am.
