What do we determine during the testosterone test?
The testosterone test examines the total amount of testosterone present in the blood. The values differ for men and women and also depend on age.The results of this study may reveal various conditions. When the amount of testosterone is lower, this can indicate, for example, chronic diseases, delayed puberty or problems with fertility. A high amount of testosterone may be due to, among other things, early puberty or a tumor. In women this can also indicate PCOS.
