Private testosterone testing
Testosterone assessment — near me
Low testosterone is a common but frequently underdiagnosed condition that affects men of all ages. Symptoms are often vague and easily attributed to stress or lifestyle — which is why a simple blood test is the only way to know for certain. At The Doctor's Lounge we provide comprehensive testosterone testing with full GP review and a personalised plan based on your results.
The test
What is a testosterone test?
A testosterone test is a blood test that measures the level of total testosterone in your bloodstream. We also assess free testosterone (the biologically active portion), SHBG (sex hormone binding globulin), and other relevant hormones where appropriate to give a complete picture of your hormonal health.
Your results
What does a testosterone test tell us?
Your testosterone level tells us whether your body is producing sufficient testosterone for normal function. Low levels can affect energy, mood, libido, muscle mass, bone density, cognitive function, and fertility. The results also help us identify whether low testosterone is primary (a problem with the testes) or secondary (a problem with signalling from the brain) — which determines the most appropriate management.
Indications
When would you need a testosterone test?
- Persistent fatigue or low energy not explained by other causes
- Low mood, irritability, or difficulty concentrating
- Reduced libido or sexual dysfunction
- Loss of muscle mass or strength
- Weight gain, particularly around the abdomen
- Poor sleep or sleep disturbance
- Fertility concerns
- Men over 40 as part of routine men's health screening
