Who Should Take The Test
Testosterone is one of the sex hormones. It is responsible for the development of male characteristics. For men, it is produced in the testes and regulates sex drive, controls bone mass, fat distribution, muscle mass, strength, development of facial hair and the production of red blood cells and sperm. While testosterone is the primary sex hormone produced by men, women also produce small amounts of testosterone in the ovaries.
Symptoms:
Testosterone levels start to decline naturally in men after the age of 30. Abnormally low levels of testosterone can be caused by heavy alcohol consumption, liver disease and steroid use, it may lead to erectile dysfunction (ED) and/ or infertility, loss of muscle mass and changes in body fat distribution. A low testosterone level in boys of pubescent age can delay puberty.
Excessive levels of testosterone in women can lead to hirsutism (excessive body hair), head hair thinning, weight gain, menstrual irregularities and is often associated with polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS). A high level of testosterone in girls of pubescent age can delay the onset of puberty and the start of the menstrual cycle.
