Testosterone Plus Profile

What to Expect from the Testosterone Plus Profile

The Testosterone Plus Profile measures Total Testosterone, Albumin, and Sex Hormone Binding Globulin (SHBG). Together, these metrics provide a precise assessment of Free Testosterone levels in the blood, offering valuable insights into any potential hormonal imbalances.

This test is commonly used to evaluate and diagnose various conditions related to testosterone imbalance, including:

• Hypogonadism: Identifies low testosterone levels, which may lead to symptoms such as decreased libido, fatigue, muscle weakness, and infertility.
• Erectile Dysfunction: Assesses whether low testosterone contributes to the condition.
• Infertility: Helps determine if low testosterone is a possible cause of male infertility.
• Delayed or Early Puberty: Evaluates the timing of puberty in children and adolescents.
• Polycystic Ovary Syndrome (PCOS): Measures testosterone levels in females to diagnose or monitor this hormonal disorder affecting the ovaries.
• Monitoring Hormone Replacement Therapy: Regular testing is essential for those undergoing testosterone replacement therapy to ensure hormone levels remain optimal.

It’s crucial for anyone using testosterone supplements to have their levels checked regularly, as both low and high testosterone can pose health risks.

Note: For the most accurate results, it’s recommended to take your sample between 7 AM and 10 AM.
