Convenient Testosterone Tests at Home in Dubai
Testosterone, a hormone produced in both men and women, might fluctuate due to several health reasons and result in lower sex drive, infertility, and more. Getting a Testosterone test, now at home through our services, will help in resolving these medical issues.
Testosterone, a hormone commonly associated with men, is produced in both men and women; in men by the testicles and in women by the ovaries, although in a very small amount. The features that distinguish men, such as the amount of hair, muscle mass, and sex drive, are all due to the testosterone level in the blood. It is, therefore, also called the male ‘sex’ hormone.
A fluctuating level of testosterone affects the body’s working, giving birth to problems such as erectile dysfunction, or infertility. In women, a large amount of Testosterone may lead to the appearance of thick facial hair, the development of a deep voice, or irregular menstrual cycles.
A testosterone test is the procedure of determining the amount of testosterone in the blood, largely performed by a doctor or specialist; and now you can get one done at home.

About Testosterone
Commonly called the male ‘sex’ hormone, Testosterone is produced by the testicles, also called testes that produce the sperm (the male reproductive cell). The testes are a major part of the male reproductive system. Further, in females, it is produced by the ovaries, a major component of the female reproductive system, that is also responsible for producing eggs (the female reproductive cells.) But these are not the only producers of the hormone.
On top of each kidney, the adrenal gland which also makes several other hormones, produces testosterone, adding to the quantity.
The regulation of testosterone levels in the body is overseen by the pituitary gland. In instances of low testosterone levels, the pituitary gland secretes a hormone known as luteinizing hormone (LH), which signals the testicles to produce more testosterone.
The total levels of testosterone fluctuate throughout the day, typically peaking in the morning and reaching their lowest point in the evening.
This pattern is influenced by the circadian rhythm, also known as the sleep-wake cycle, as sleep plays a role in facilitating the natural cycle of testosterone production. Studies indicate that sleep disorders and inadequate sleep might impact testosterone levels. For men experiencing low testosterone, engaging in morning workouts is recommended as it may contribute to an additional boost in levels for some individuals.
The production of testosterone increases during puberty, and it is noted in boys that their voices start getting deeper and hair starts appearing on their bodies. The production of Testosterone gradually starts decreasing after the age of thirty.
So it is necessary to get your problems resolved as early as possible. While in boys, testosterone triggers puberty’s growth spurt, deepens their voice, and sparks sexual development, in girls, it quietly builds strong bones, muscles, and healthy organs. In adulthood, it maintains men’s sexual drive and muscle mass, while contributing to women’s overall well-being.
While bound to proteins like sex hormone binding globulin and albumin, most of the testosterone in the body cannot directly interact with the tissues. This serves as a control mechanism, ensuring a steady state of active testosterone (free testosterone) available for various physiological functions.
Why Does Fluctuation in Testosterone Level Occurs?
Increased Testosterone level in Males:
Cancer of the testicles or adrenal glands may cause an increase in testosterone levels
Elevated testosterone levels in boys under 10 may be a sign of an aberrant adrenal gland, testicular tumor, or early (precocious) puberty
Decreased Testosterone Level in Males:
Certain hereditary disorders (like Klinefelter syndrome or Down syndrome)
Liver diseases (like cirrhosis)
Treatment for prostate cancer
In males who have gone through puberty may be caused by problems with the testicles, such as delayed growth, damage, or lack of testicles altogether.
Pituitary gland dysfunction
Estrogen therapy
Extended alcohol intake
Increased Testosterone level in Females:
polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) or cancer of the ovary or adrenal glands may be the cause of an elevated testosterone level
Rarely, the part of the ovary that produces testosterone may become overly sensitive to luteinizing hormone (LH), which can result in abnormally high levels of testosterone. Hyperthecosis is the term used to describe this condition.
Decreased Testosterone Level in Females:
underactive pituitary gland
Addison's disease
Loss of ovarian function from illness or surgery
Certain medications (such as corticosteroids or estrogen
Obesity, chronic pain, or the use of certain painkillers are among the factors that can cause a decrease in sex hormone binding globulin (SHBG), which in turn lowers total testosterone levels
Testosterone goes beyond masculine traits; it is an intricate hormone essential for the overall health and well-being of both men and women. Physicians may examine testosterone levels to diagnose the underlying cause of your symptoms. Conducting tests aids in identifying whether there is a deficiency or an elevated level of testosterone. These tests are integral to evaluating the presence of health conditions that could impact hormone levels.
Insufficient testosterone in males can result in:
- Diminished libido
- Decreased energy
- Erectile dysfunction
- Reduced hair growth
- Weight gain
- Feelings of depression and
- Decreased bone density
Increased testosterone levels in males are linked to:
- heightened aggression
- excessive facial and body hair
- Acne
- Increased blood pressure.
- In females, inadequate testosterone can:
- Reduce sexual desire
- Impact mood, concentration, and energy levels
- Increased testosterone levels, on the other hand, may affect:
- Hair growth
- Contributing to both baldness and excess body hair
- Trigger acne
- Cause irregular menstruation
High testosterone is also associated with polycystic ovarian syndrome (PCOS).
Testosterone Test: What and Why?
As mentioned above, a testosterone test is a blood test that measures the amount of testosterone in your body. While testosterone levels naturally fluctuate over time, individuals can experience either excessive or insufficient levels at any given moment, which may not align with their age and health requirements.
A testosterone test is the only means to gauge the amount of the hormone in your body and ascertain if your levels fall within a healthy range.
There are three varieties of blood tests that assess the distinct forms of testosterone:
Free Testosterone Test: exclusively assesses the “active” variant of the hormone. While less prevalent, this test can be beneficial for diagnosing specific medical conditions.
Total Testosterone Test: Assesses the testosterone that is bound to proteins. You are most likely to be asked to perform this test, this one being the most common.
Bioavailable Testosterone Test: This test is the least common, it assesses the free testosterone as well as the one that is attached to ‘albumin.’

Why Get This Test?
If you might be noticing any of the above symptoms in your body, then you need to take the test. Apart from that, just for the general healthcare of the body, it is wise to perform the test to foreshadow if any medical condition might arise in the future. The test can also determine why the testosterone levels are either that high or that low.
In adults, there can be the presence of testicular tumors, quite unknown, until a testosterone test reveals them. If your child is facing an early puberty, or a late one, at that, then it is not too late to get the test performed.
It is especially confusing when the condition does not run in the family, so a testosterone test will solve many of your problems. And now, you can get it done in the comfort of your home! No more queuing up at your doctor’s office, or long periods of wait: our clinic is giving you the incredible opportunity of solving your problems at home.
If your past medical history indicates abnormal levels of testosterone, or if you taking certain medications that affect the testosterone in your blood, then it is all the more important for you to get this test immediately. Getting a test has never been easier; now all you have to do is book an appointment.
If you and your partner are having difficulty conceiving, it is wise to conduct the test. Furthermore, regular monitoring of testosterone levels is crucial for transgender men and individuals undergoing female-to-male testosterone therapy.
Test Results
Males typically have testosterone levels between 300 and 800 nanograms per deciliter (ng/dL), while females typically have levels between 15 and 70 ng/dL.
However, average testosterone levels tend to decrease with age in both males and females. For example, in men, testosterone levels normally drop by 1% annually after the age of 30, though some may see a more rapid decline of up to 2% annually. Half of men show low testosterone levels by the time they are over 80 years old. The American Urology Association defines low testosterone, or hypogonadism, in men as levels less than 300 ng/dL.
In females, the testosterone level decrease sharply picks up speed beyond the age of thirty and then sharply declines after menopause. This decline is associated with higher levels of body fat, less muscle mass, decreased bone density, decreased libido, and may even be linked to a higher risk of breast cancer.
In both males and females, abnormal testosterone levels can indicate major underlying conditions. For example, elevated testosterone levels may be a sign of testicular or ovarian cancer. Conversely, low testosterone levels can indicate a long-term medical condition or problems with the pituitary gland, which releases hormones.
