Testosterone Tests

Testosterone plays a central role in men's health. If you're experiencing symptoms that could be linked to low testosterone, a testosterone blood test is the first step towards understanding whether your hormone levels may be contributing.

Which testosterone test should I choose?

We have a range of testosterone tests to choose on based on your concerns:

  • You're experiencing symptoms of low testosterone: A comprehensive testosterone profile measures total and free testosterone, along with hormones such as LH, FSH, prolactin, and oestradiol, to help identify possible causes.
  • You're monitoring testosterone replacement therapy (TRT): Regular testing helps assess whether treatment is achieving appropriate testosterone levels while monitoring other important biomarkers that may be affected during therapy.
  • You want to check your testosterone levels: If you're simply curious about your hormone status or looking for a baseline, a testosterone-only test may be a suitable starting point.
When should you have a testosterone blood test?

Testosterone deficiency can't be diagnosed based on symptoms alone. A blood test is needed to determine whether your hormone levels fall within the expected range.

You may benefit from testing if you have:

  • Low libido or reduced sex drive.
  • Erectile dysfunction.
  • Persistent fatigue or low energy.
  • Reduced muscle mass or strength.
  • Low mood or poor motivation.
  • Fertility concerns.
  • While taking testosterone replacement therapy.

For the most accurate assessment, testosterone should usually be measured with a morning blood sample, as levels naturally decline throughout the day.

FAQs

What's the best testosterone blood test?

If you're investigating symptoms, a comprehensive testosterone profile usually provides the most useful information because it measures testosterone alongside other hormones that regulate its production. If you're simply checking your testosterone level, a testosterone-only finger-prick blood test may be appropriate.

What's the difference between total and free testosterone?

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

Can I take testosterone supplements instead of TRT?

Testosterone supplements and testosterone replacement therapy (TRT) aren't the same. Most supplements don't contain testosterone and have limited evidence that they significantly increase testosterone levels. TRT is a prescription treatment used when clinically appropriate after proper assessment.

How often should testosterone be monitored during TRT?

The frequency depends on your treatment plan and clinical guidance, but regular blood tests are recommended to monitor testosterone levels and other biomarkers throughout testosterone replacement therapy.

What time of day should I test my testosterone?

Testosterone is usually highest in the morning, so samples are generally recommended before 10 am when investigating testosterone deficiency.

Can low testosterone cause erectile dysfunction?

Yes. Low testosterone can contribute to erectile dysfunction, reduced libido, and changes in sexual function, although these symptoms can have many other causes. Blood testing helps determine whether testosterone may be playing a role.

Can women have a testosterone blood test?

Yes. Testosterone also plays an important role in women's health, although normal levels are much lower than in men. Female testosterone testing is available where clinically appropriate and is usually interpreted alongside other hormone tests.
