More Than Just a Testosterone Test
Testosterone is an important hormone involved in sex drive, muscle mass, energy, mood, sexual function and sperm production.
However, measuring testosterone alone doesn't always give the complete picture. Our Enhanced Testosterone Blood Test looks at testosterone alongside several related hormones and health markers, providing a much broader assessment.
What Does the Enhanced Testosterone Test Check?
Total Testosterone
Measures the overall amount of testosterone circulating in your blood.
Free Testosterone – Calculated
Provides an estimate of the testosterone that is not tightly bound to proteins and is therefore more readily available for use by the body.
SHBG – Sex Hormone Binding Globulin
SHBG is a protein that binds to sex hormones including testosterone. Measuring SHBG alongside total testosterone helps provide greater context when assessing testosterone status.
Albumin
Albumin is another protein that binds to testosterone and is used alongside testosterone and SHBG when calculating free testosterone.
LH – Luteinising Hormone
LH plays an important role in signalling the testes to produce testosterone. Measuring LH alongside testosterone can provide additional information about the hormonal signalling involved in testosterone production.
FSH – Follicle Stimulating Hormone
FSH plays an important role in male reproductive health and sperm production.
Prolactin
Prolactin is another hormone that can influence reproductive and sexual health. Abnormal levels may warrant further assessment by an appropriately qualified healthcare professional.
Oestradiol
Although commonly associated with female hormones, men also produce oestradiol. Maintaining an appropriate hormonal balance is important for normal male health.
PSA – Prostate Specific Antigen
PSA is a marker associated with the prostate. Elevated PSA levels can occur for a number of reasons and should always be appropriately assessed by a healthcare professional.
Cholesterol Profile
The test also includes key cholesterol measurements:
- Total Cholesterol
- HDL Cholesterol
- LDL Cholesterol
- Cholesterol / HDL Ratio
Why Check Your Testosterone?
A testosterone and hormone blood test may be worth considering if you have noticed changes such as:
- Low energy or persistent tiredness
- Reduced libido
- Erectile difficulties
- Changes in mood
- Difficulty maintaining or building muscle
- Changes in strength or physical performance
- Concerns about fertility
- Changes in sexual function
- Concerns about your testosterone levels
- A desire to establish a baseline for monitoring your hormone health
These symptoms can have many different causes, so blood testing can be a useful starting point for understanding whether your hormone levels may warrant further investigation.
Ideal for Men Interested in Their Hormone Health
You don't need to be experiencing symptoms to check your testosterone levels.
This test can also be useful for men who simply want a better understanding of their hormone health, particularly as part of a wider approach to fitness, wellbeing and healthy ageing.
