Overview

A free testosterone test is a blood test that measures the amount of testosterone in the bloodstream that is not attached to proteins. This type of testosterone is considered the most active and available for use by the body. The test is usually performed by drawing blood from a vein in the arm and typically takes only a few minutes. Results can be used to diagnose conditions related to testosterone levels, such as low libido or infertility.

Who should do this test?

Men with symptoms of low testosterone: The Free Testosterone test is commonly used to diagnose low testosterone levels in men, especially those who present with symptoms like decreased sex drive, erectile dysfunction, fatigue, and muscle weakness.

Women with suspected hormonal imbalances: Free Testosterone levels can also be measured in women to help diagnose hormonal imbalances, such as polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS), which can result in high levels of androgens like testosterone.

Athletes undergoing doping tests: The Free Testosterone test is included in the World Anti-Doping Agencys (WADA) list of prohibited substances and methods in sport. Therefore, it is often used to identify athletes who are using testosterone to enhance their performance.
