TESTOSTERONE FREE IS A TERM USED TO DESCRIBE A CONDITION WHERE AN INDIVIDUAL HAS VERY LOW OR NO TESTOSTERONE LEVELS IN THEIR BODY. THIS CAN OCCUR NATURALLY DUE TO AGING, CERTAIN MEDICAL CONDITIONS, OR AS A RESULT OF TREATMENTS FOR CONDITIONS LIKE PROSTATE CANCER. SYMPTOMS OF LOW TESTOSTERONE CAN INCLUDE FATIGUE, REDUCED LIBIDO, DECREASED MUSCLE MASS, AND MOOD CHANGES. IF YOU SUSPECT YOU MAY HAVE LOW TESTOSTERONE LEVELS, ITS IMPORTANT TO CONSULT WITH A HEALTHCARE PROFESSIONAL FOR PROPER DIAGNOSIS AND TREATMENT.

A total testosterone test measures the combined levels of both free and bound testosterone in the blood. This is the most common type of testosterone test and is typically used to assess overall testosterone levels. Its important to note that while total testosterone provides valuable information, it does not directly reflect the biologically active form of the hormone.
