The laboratory values are compared with symptoms and lifestyle in order to determine individual therapy requirements. The blood sample should be taken in the morning, as testosterone and other hormones are subject to diurnal fluctuations. The doctor and laboratory examine the following values depending on the issue:

  • Free, bioavailable and total testosterone
