The package shown in your screenshots does NOT include a testosterone test. Looking through all 18 test groups across the 101 parameters, there is no testosterone or any sex hormone panel listed.
What a Testosterone Test Would Tell You
If you added it separately, here's what it covers:
Total Testosterone (most common)
- Measures the main male sex hormone (also present in females at lower levels)
In Men - Detects/assesses:
| Condition | What Happens |
|---|
| Low Testosterone (Hypogonadism) | Fatigue, low sex drive, erectile dysfunction, depression, muscle loss, weight gain |
| Delayed puberty (in young males) | Underdeveloped secondary sexual characteristics |
| Infertility | Low sperm production |
| Pituitary gland disorders | Pituitary controls testosterone production |
| Klinefelter syndrome | Genetic condition with extra X chromosome |
| Testicular disorders | Tumors, injury, or failure |
| Obesity / Metabolic syndrome | Often causes low testosterone |
| Sleep apnea | Strongly linked to low T |
In Women - Detects/assesses:
| Condition | What Happens |
|---|
| PCOS (Polycystic Ovary Syndrome) | Most common reason - high testosterone causes irregular periods, acne, facial hair |
| Adrenal tumors | Can produce excess testosterone |
| Ovarian tumors | Androgen-secreting tumors |
| Congenital Adrenal Hyperplasia | Genetic enzyme disorder |
Should You Add It?
Yes, consider adding testosterone if you have:
- Low energy, low libido, or erectile dysfunction (men)
- Irregular periods, acne, excess facial/body hair (women)
- Difficulty building muscle despite working out
- Unexplained weight gain, especially belly fat
- Depression or mood swings without clear cause
- Infertility concerns
- You're a man over 35-40 (testosterone naturally declines with age)
Note on Your Current Package
Your package already includes Cortisol and Insulin Fasting which are hormones. But the sex hormone axis (testosterone, FSH, LH, estrogen, prolactin) is not covered. If you want a complete hormonal picture, ask the lab to add:
- Testosterone Total (basic)
- Or a full Hormone Panel - FSH, LH, Prolactin, Testosterone, Estradiol
Most labs charge ₹300-800 extra for testosterone alone. It is worth adding if any of the symptoms above apply to you.
