Online PR News – 22-June-2016 – X-celerated Screenings, Central Florida’s leader in paternity testing, drug testing, lab tests and background checks, is celebrating Mens Health Month in June with testosterone tests offered for the special price of $63 (normally $70).

A recent Centers for Disease Control and Prevention report found that nearly 26 percent of men in the United States do not have a regular source of health care, said X-celerated General Manager Denisse Lebron. At X-celerated screenings we help men take a proactive stance regarding their health by providing affordable, confidential and accurate lab tests.

testosterone testing is used to diagnose several conditions in men. Testosterone is the main sex hormone in men, produced mainly by the testicles, and is responsible for male physical characteristics. Although it is considered to be a “male” sex hormone, it is present in the blood of both males and females.

The testosterone test may be used to help evaluate conditions such as:

Decreased sex drive in men and women
Erectile dysfunction in men
Infertility in men and women
Testicular tumors in men
Hypothalamus or pituitary disorders

Typically, a test for total testosterone is used for diagnosis. At X-celerated Screenings testosterone is a simple blood test that measures testosterone that is bound to proteins in the blood (e.g., albumin and sex-hormone binding globulin [SHBG]) as well as testosterone that is not bound.

In men, a testosterone test may be ordered when infertility is suspected or when a man has a decreased sex drive or erectile dysfunction. Some other symptoms include lack of beard and body hair, decreased muscle mass, and development of breast tissue.

The normal range for testosterone levels in men is broad and varies by stage of maturity and age. It is normal for testosterone levels to slowly decline, usually after age 30. Testosterone may decrease more in men who are obese, chronically ill, or with the use of certain medications. Men who are diagnosed with consistently low testosterone levels and have related signs and symptoms may be prescribed testosterone replacement therapy by their healthcare provider.

June is Mens Health Month, a special awareness period built on the pillars of Awareness, Prevention, Education and Family. The goal of Mens Health Month is to heighten the awareness of preventable health problems and encourage early detection and treatment of disease among men and boys. To celebrate, X-celerated Screenings is offering men a 10-percent discount on popular health screenings such as prostate, cholesterol, diabetes, STDs, testosterone, hormones, allergies, iron, athletic performance and many others.
