About This Test
Testosterone is the main male sex hormone (androgen) produced primarily by the testes in males and in smaller amounts by the ovaries in females and adrenal glands in both sexes.
It plays a crucial role in sexual development, reproductive function, muscle mass, bone density, mood, and energy levels. Decreased testosterone levels indicate partial or complete hypogonadism.The causes include Genetic causes (eg, Klinefelter syndrome), Developmental causes (eg, testicular maldescent), Testicular trauma, Infections (eg, mumps), Orchidectomy, Pituitary or hypothalamic tumors. While Increased testosterone levels may be seen in precocious puberty, testicular or adrenal tumors and androgen abuse.
In Females, increased testosterone levels may be seen in Congenital adrenal hyperplasia, Polycystic ovarian disease and Ovarian or adrenal neoplasms.
