Testosterone is prominent or main sex hormone in men and is produced by testicles. It is because of presence of this hormone that males get their physical characteristics. In women, levels of testosterone are quite low. Doctors recommend testosterone test to evaluate various conditions like decreased sex drive in both men and women, detecting cause of infertility in men and women, testicular tumors in men, reason for delayed or precocious puberty in boys, erectile dysfunction in men, hypothalamus or pituitary disorders and Hirsutism (abnormal hair growth on womens face and body) and virilization (development of male characteristics like deep voice, muscle bulk etc. )in females.

Testosterone test is a type of blood test. Sample of blood is drawn from vein near elbow. To increase blood flow to the vein, an elastic band is tied on upper arm. This exerts pressure over the vein making it swell and it becomes easy for the nurse to draw blood. Once the required amount of blood is collected in the tube, needle is withdrawn and cotton swab is given to hold against the puncture site to prevent blood from oozing out. The procedure hardly takes few minutes and is relatively painless.

If you are experiencing following symptoms consistently, then you should opt for testosterone test:

• Lessened sex drive: Low testosterone reduces production of libido which reduces sex drive.
• Mood swings: Men and women who have low levels of testosterone hormone experience mood swing and can become victim of depression.
• Osteoporosis: It is a condition wherein bone mass density becomes very low. Testosterone hormone plays an important role in maintaining healthy bones. Women are more vulnerable to osteoporosis since their bone mass naturally weakens with age and low level of testosterone accelerates the process. Low testosterone levels in men make them susceptible to fractures even at slightest falls.
• Hair loss is an indication of low testosterone levels in men.
• Lack of enthusiasm and feeling of being always tired can be a result of lower levels of testosterone.
• Visceral fat: It is the fat that gets deposited on abdomen and midriff. Low level of testosterone increases accumulation of visceral fat.

It is better to consult with doctor early so that symptoms reduce and condition gets treated without much complications.
