What it measures
- Total testosterone — The main male sex hormone; total amount in the blood.
- Free testosterone — The portion not bound to proteins, which is available to tissues.
- Luteinizing hormone (LH) — A pituitary signal that tells the testes to make testosterone.
- Follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH) — A pituitary signal involved in sperm production.
- Estradiol — A form of estrogen that men also produce in small amounts.
- Prolactin — A pituitary hormone that can affect testosterone and fertility.
Preparation
Fasting is often not required, but because testosterone levels change during the day, a morning blood draw is commonly preferred. Follow any specific instructions from your clinician.

Frequently asked questions
Do I need to fast?
Usually no. Your clinician will tell you if fasting is needed for any other tests drawn at the same time.
Why is a morning appointment recommended?
Testosterone is often highest in the morning, so a morning sample gives a more consistent comparison.
Can one normal result rule out a problem?
No. A single result may not reflect your typical levels, so clinicians sometimes repeat testing or add other tests.
How long until results are ready?
Most results are available within 1 to 3 business days, though this can vary by lab.
