Private male hormone blood test in London at Tower Bridge Hospital, East London
Doctor-led · Blood test · Results clearly explained

Male hormone profile in London.

A male hormone blood test checks testosterone alongside the hormones that regulate it. It can help make sense of symptoms such as low energy, low libido or fertility concerns — interpreted by a doctor, not read off a chart.

Educational information — not a substitute for clinical assessment

A single testosterone level does not diagnose a hormone problem. Testosterone varies through the day and with illness, so timing and repeat testing matter, and results are interpreted alongside your symptoms and examination.

What it measures

A male hormone profile typically looks at testosterone along with the hormones and proteins that influence it — which may include LH, FSH, SHBG and prolactin. Together these help a clinician understand whether a low reading reflects a genuine problem and, if so, where it arises.

Who it is for

  • Persistent tiredness, low mood or reduced motivation
  • Low libido or erectile difficulties
  • Fertility concerns
  • Follow-up of a previous borderline result

What is included

The exact panel is chosen for your situation. A morning blood sample is preferred because testosterone is highest earlier in the day, which makes the result more meaningful.

Timing changes the number

Testosterone naturally peaks in the morning and dips later, so we aim for an early sample — and a single low result is usually confirmed with a repeat.

What happens

  1. A consultation to review your symptoms and history.
  2. A blood sample, ideally taken in the morning.
  3. A doctor-led review explaining the result in context.
  4. A discussion of any sensible next steps.

What it cannot tell you

Hormone numbers only make sense with the clinical picture. A result near the lower end is not automatically a diagnosis, and it does not by itself mean treatment is needed. Interpretation, and any decision about what to do next, is a clinical one.

Results & next steps

We explain what your levels mean for you and discuss options, which may include repeating the test or a fuller assessment. If low testosterone is being considered, see our TRT Assessment.

Frequently asked questions

How much is the male hormone profile?

See our Fees page for the current price.

When should the blood be taken?

A morning sample is preferred, as testosterone is highest earlier in the day. We will advise when you book.

Does a low result mean I need treatment?

Not on its own. A single low reading is usually repeated and always interpreted alongside your symptoms before any decision is made.

Can this help with fertility questions?

It can form part of the picture. For sperm testing, see our Sperm Analysis.

What if my result is abnormal?

We explain it in context and discuss next steps, which may include a repeat test or a fuller assessment.
