My husband has symptoms of low testosterone; can saliva hormone testing help?
Saliva testing can measure your husbands present hormone levels to identify the extent to which his testosterone is low. Our test reports indicate an expected range so that your husband can compare his levels to the normal range. Saliva testing can also identify additional androgen hormone levels (such as DHEA-s and Cortisol) that may be contributing to a low testosterone reading; this provides a more comprehensive picture. Your husband will receive a complete interpretation of hormone test results and if need be can discuss them with a credentialed physician on staff at our laboratories. We can also provide informational materials for his physician and/follow-up resources.
