Testing Testosterone Levels at Hati Health
Testing for testosterone levels at Hati Health involves a straightforward process designed to accurately measure the amount of testosterone in your bloodstream. Testosterone is a crucial hormone for both men and women, playing significant roles in reproductive health, metabolism, and overall well-being.
The Testing Procedure
The process begins with a simple blood draw. A healthcare professional will collect a small blood sample from a vein, typically in your arm. This sample is then sent to a laboratory where it undergoes analysis to determine the total testosterone level. The results can help diagnose various conditions related to hormonal imbalances.

Men might be tested for testosterone if they experience symptoms like fatigue, decreased libido, or muscle loss, which could indicate low testosterone levels (hypogonadism). Women might undergo testing if they show signs of elevated testosterone, such as excessive hair growth or irregular menstrual cycles. Additionally, testosterone tests are useful in assessing issues like infertility, erectile dysfunction, and monitoring hormone replacement therapy.
