A blood test measures testosterone in your blood. Your doctor interprets the result with your symptoms and medical history. Low results usually need confirmation with another test.[2]
Total testosterone, free testosterone and SHBG
Total testosterone includes hormone bound to proteins. SHBG is a binding protein. Changes in SHBG can make total and free testosterone results differ. A doctor decides which measurements help explain your results.[3]
LH and FSH help explain the cause
Healthy Male describes repeat testosterone testing alongside LH and FSH when investigating androgen deficiency. These results help distinguish problems involving the testes from problems involving the pituitary system.[1]
Morning collection and preparation
healthdirect advises morning collection and explains that fasting is usually required. Follow the instructions on your referral and from the collection centre. Tell your doctor about medicines and supplements before testing.[4]
Arrange the referral and results appointment
Your GP can assess your symptoms and arrange blood testing. Telehealth services may also provide a referral after assessment. Check whether the quoted fee includes the collection, all requested markers and a doctor appointment to explain the results.[4]
Is a testosterone test covered by Medicare?
Medicare and PBS are separate funding systems. Services Australia says bulk billing means a provider accepts the Medicare benefit as full payment for that service. A visit with several services may include charges for some of them. Confirm the consultation and pathology charges separately before booking.[6]
