Testosterone is generally detected through intravenous blood collection and is often used to assist in the diagnosis of diseases such as male testosterone deficiency, female androgen syndrome, and polycystic ovary syndrome.
Testosterone is a steroid hormone and one of the sex hormones in the human body, secreted by the adrenal gland and male testes. It is better to take blood on an empty stomach before 8am. You can rest in a sitting position for half an hour before taking blood to avoid the transient increase in hormone levels caused by exercise. It is usually recommended that patients undergo comprehensive hormone testing to assess hormone levels comprehensively. It is recommended to go to a regular hospital for testosterone testing, and sexual activity should be avoided before the examination to avoid affecting the normal test results.
