I have a question and can't seem to get a definitive answer. We have a Suboxone clinic and we currently do a 6 panel urine drug screen. We have a client who routinely tests postive for benzodiazepines and until recently was being attributed to her Ambien RX.
Low testosterone levels, or low T, can affect men and women alike. Testosterone, the primary sex hormone in men, is produced mainly in the testicles, and causes men to develop a deep voice, large muscles, and body hair. Testosterone is also essential for the production of sperm.
Before we get into what testosterone does, we need to understand what it is. Testosterone is part of a group of hormones called androgens, or steroid hormones. It is mostly thought of as a male hormone, although women produce it â albeit to a much lesser extent. A majority of testosterone is produced in the sex organs, with a small amount produced in the adrenal glands. There are actually three different kinds of testosterone floating around your blood: albumin, sex hormone binding globulin (SHBG), and free testosterone.
