Often, the first sign of testosterone excess in women is the development of male pattern hair growth, which is referred to as hirsutism. 3,10,11 It should be noted that some women experience hair growth similar to that caused by increased testosterone due to racial or genetic causes and not due to excessive androgens.
Testosterone (Female/Child) measures total testosterone in the blood. It is expressed as ng/dL. Testosterone levels in young males tend to be about 50% higher in the early morning than in the evening. Androgen status should be assessed on more than one occasion with more than one measurement.
Testosterone testing is used to evaluate androgen excess or deficiency related to gonadal function, adrenal function, or tumor activity. Testosterone levels may be helpful in men for the diagnosis of hypogonadism, hypopituitarism, Klinefelter syndrome, and impotence (low values).

Testosterone is a male sex hormone, or androgen, produced in a woman's ovaries in small amounts. Combined with estrogen, the female sex hormone, testosterone helps with the growth, maintenance, and repair of a woman's reproductive tissues, bone mass, and human behaviors.
In females, this test can find the reason you're missing periods, not having periods, having a hard time getting pregnant or experiencing male patterns of hair growth such as on your chest or face. Doctors can also use it to help diagnose polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS), which causes elevated testosterone.

Levels of testosterone and other androgens can be measured with a blood test. In women, normal testosterone levels range from 15 to 70 nanograms per deciliter (ng/dL) of blood. Testosterone levels lower than 15 ng/dL may cause: changes in breast tissue.
15 to 70 ng/dLNormal Results Normal measurements for these tests: Male: 300 to 1,000 nanograms per deciliter (ng/dL) or 10 to 35 nanomoles per liter (nmol/L) Female: 15 to 70 ng/dL or 0.5 to 2.4 nmol/L.

According to the National Correct Coding Initiative (NCCI), free thyroxine (CPT® code 84439) is generally considered to be a better measure of the hypothyroid or hyperthyroid state than total thyroxine (CPT code 84436).
Most of the testosterone in the blood is attached to proteins. Testosterone that is not attached to a protein is called free testosterone. There are two main types of testosterone tests: Total testosterone, which measures both attached and free testosterone.
