| | Testosterone: The Test |
 | | Testosterone testing is used to diagnose several conditions in men, women, and boys. |
 | | In women, testosterone testing may be done if a patient has irregular or no menstrual periods, is having difficulty getting pregnant, or appears to have masculine features, such as facial and body hair, male pattern baldness, and a low voice. |
 | | Increased testosterone levels in males can indicate testicular tumors, adrenal tumors that are producing testosterone, or use of androgens (also called anabolic steroids). |
