Turnaround Time: Next working day, depending on sample timing.
A testosterone blood test measures the amount of testosterone in a sample of your blood. Testosterone is a hormone linked to energy, sex drive, muscle, mood and fertility, so checking your level can be a useful starting point if you want a clearer picture of your hormone health.
This is a focused, single-hormone private testosterone blood test for people who want to check their testosterone level specifically, without booking a wider hormone panel. Your sample is analysed in a UK laboratory, with professional support available if required.
People book a testosterone levels test for different reasons. These are some of the most common.
You may be feeling more tired than usual, less interested in sex or simply not yourself, and want a measured result before speaking to a healthcare professional.
A result taken now gives you a reference point you can compare with future testosterone tests.
Some people retest to see how their level changes. If you’re having testosterone treatment, your prescriber will advise when and how your levels should be checked.
Book online, choose the visit type that suits you and get your sample analysed in a UK laboratory.
Symptoms that may prompt someone to discuss testosterone testing with a healthcare professional include:
These symptoms are common and can have many causes, including sleep, stress, other health conditions and some medicines. Having one or more of them does not mean you have low testosterone. A low testosterone blood test can add useful information, but your result should always be considered alongside your symptoms and health history. If your symptoms are severe, sudden or worrying, speak to your GP or contact NHS 111.
A single testosterone result is one piece of information. On its own, it should not be used to diagnose:
Testosterone levels can vary, and a diagnosis usually involves a healthcare professional reviewing your symptoms, medical history and, often, repeat or additional tests. This test does not decide whether any treatment is right for you.
Both tests include testosterone. The difference is how much of the wider hormone picture you see. Choose the option that matches what you want to find out.

Common reasons include looking into symptoms such as low energy, reduced libido, mood changes, reduced muscle strength or fertility concerns, wanting a baseline result, or tracking levels over time. These symptoms can have many causes, so a result is best discussed with a healthcare professional.
Not on its own. A single result shows your testosterone level at the time your sample was taken. Diagnosing low testosterone, or any other condition, usually involves a healthcare professional reviewing your symptoms, medical history and often repeat or additional tests.
Testosterone levels can vary from day to day and through the day, so one result is a snapshot. If your result is outside the expected range, or doesn’t match your symptoms, a GP or clinician may suggest repeating it. A repeat test on its own doesn’t confirm or rule out a diagnosis.
Please follow the preparation instructions supplied for your specific test and visit type. If you’re unsure whether you need to fast, call our team on 01277 652067 before your appointment.

This £30 test focuses on testosterone alone. The Male Hormone Blood Test (£65) is a broader panel that checks testosterone alongside SHBG, the free androgen index, LH, FSH, oestradiol, prolactin and progesterone. If testosterone is the only level you want to check, this test is the simpler choice.
Discuss it with your GP or another qualified healthcare professional. They may look at your symptoms and history and may suggest repeating the test or further tests. Avoid starting, stopping or changing any treatment based on one result alone. Professional support is available if required. If you feel very unwell or have urgent symptoms, contact NHS 111, or call 999 in an emergency.
A result in the expected range doesn’t mean your symptoms aren’t real; they can have many other causes. Talk to your GP about how you’re feeling. If you’d like a wider look at your hormones, the Male Hormone Blood Test checks testosterone alongside related hormones, though no single test can explain every symptom.

Most people feel a brief sharp scratch when the needle goes in, and it’s over quickly. If you’re nervous about needles or have fainted before, tell the person taking your blood so they can help you feel comfortable.
Free testosterone is the portion of testosterone in your blood that isn’t bound to proteins, and it’s reported as a separate measurement. This product is listed as a Testosterone Blood Test rather than a free testosterone test. If you want to confirm exactly which measurement is reported, call us on 01277 652067 before booking, or consider the broader Male Hormone Blood Test.

“Great service. I’m not the best with needles, however, Jo made me feel comfortable and at ease which made the whole process much more tolerable. 5 stars from me.
