What is FREE TESTOSTERONE?

This test measures the active form of testosterone in your blood, which is not bound to proteins. Testosterone is a crucial hormone for men's health and also present in women, influencing various bodily functions.

Why is this test important?

It is essential for evaluating symptoms like low libido, erectile dysfunction, or infertility in men, and menstrual irregularities or excess hair growth in women. Free testosterone provides a clearer picture of hormone availability than total testosterone.

How to Prepare

It is often recommended to have the blood sample drawn in the morning (between 7 AM and 10 AM) due to natural daily fluctuations in hormone levels.

Frequently Asked Questions

Do I need to fast before my blood test?
It depends on the test. Tests like lipid profile and fasting blood sugar require 10-12 hours of fasting. Tests like CBC, vitamin D, and thyroid do not require fasting. Each test page on our website clearly states the fasting requirements.
