Male Hormone Blood Tests

Male hormones influence far more than sex drive. They play an important role in overall health and wellbeing. If you're experiencing symptoms that could be linked to a hormonal imbalance, a blood test can be a useful first step in understanding what's happening.

Which male hormone blood test should I choose?

The best test depends on your symptoms, whether you're investigating a possible hormone problem or monitoring treatment.

  • Low testosterone: If you're experiencing symptoms, a testosterone blood test is a good choice.
  • Monitoring TRT: Regular blood tests help monitor testosterone levels and other key health markers to support safe, effective testosterone replacement therapy.
  • A broader health check: Comprehensive profiles assess hormone health alongside biomarkers such as cholesterol, liver and kidney function, and diabetes risk.
What can a male hormone blood test tell me?

A male hormone blood test can identify whether your hormone levels fall within the expected range and whether further investigation may be appropriate.
Depending on the test, it can help assess:

  • Testosterone production
  • Free testosterone availability
  • Hormones involved in fertility and sperm production
  • Oestrogen balance
  • Possible causes of hormonal imbalance


Blood test results should always be interpreted alongside your symptoms, medical history, and lifestyle, as hormone levels are only one part of the clinical picture.

FAQs

What's the best testosterone blood test?

If you're experiencing symptoms of low testosterone, a comprehensive male hormone profile, such as our Male Hormone Blood Test is often the most informative, as it measures testosterone alongside hormones such as LH, FSH, SHBG, and prolactin, providing context for your results.

What is andropause?

Andropause describes the gradual decline in testosterone that can occur with age. Unlike menopause, it doesn't happen suddenly or affect all men and other health conditions can cause similar symptoms.
Symptoms may include:
• Reduced libido
• Fatigue
• Mood changes
• Decreased muscle mass
• Erectile dysfunction

Can a blood test diagnose low testosterone?

A blood test is essential for diagnosing low testosterone, but the diagnosis isn't based on the result alone. Healthcare professionals also consider your symptoms, medical history, and, where appropriate, repeat testing.

Do I need a PSA test?

Our PSA Blood Test isn't recommended for every man, but it may be appropriate if you're concerned about your prostate health, have urinary symptoms, are monitoring an existing prostate condition, or wish to discuss prostate cancer screening with your healthcare professional.

What's the difference between total and free testosterone?

Total testosterone measures all the testosterone circulating in your blood. Free testosterone refers to the small proportion that's not bound to proteins and is more readily available for your body to use. Measuring both can provide a clearer understanding of your hormone status.

When should I take a testosterone blood test?

Testosterone levels are highest in the morning, so blood samples are usually recommended before 10 am for the most clinically meaningful assessment, particularly if you're investigating possible testosterone deficiency.
