    GlossaryTestosterone Levels

    measure of testosterone concentration in the bloodstream

    Testosterone levels refer to the concentration of testosterone, a key male sex hormone, in the bloodstream. These levels can influence various bodily functions, including muscle mass, bone density, and hair growth. Abnormal testosterone levels, whether too high or too low, can lead to health issues such as alopecia, infertility, and mood disorders. Measurement of testosterone levels is often done through blood tests to diagnose and manage conditions related to hormonal imbalances.
