Understanding Testosterone and Your Health

Testosterone plays a key role in men’s general and sexual health, supporting muscle mass, strength and body hair. Levels naturally fall by around 1% a year from about age 30, and low testosterone can cause reduced libido, loss of morning erections and erectile dysfunction, as well as tiredness, weakness and low mood.

Our male hormone panel measures six markers linked to testosterone production: testosterone, free androgen index, SHBG, LH, FSH and DHEA.

How the Test Works

Your appointment starts with a consultation with one of our clinicians, who will review your medical history and check your blood pressure before taking your blood tests. Results are available within 7 to 10 working days. Your report will include your results only. If you’d like to discuss them or explore treatment options, we can refer you to Dr Jeff Martin, our specialist in testosterone deficiency, through a separate referral.

NOTE: The report for this blood test will be only the results and if you wish to discuss the results with a hormone specialist a separate referral is necessary.

Why Choose Effect Doctors

Our preventive blood tests are led by GMC-registered doctors, so every result is reviewed in the context of your symptoms, history and lifestyle. Testing is part of a full evaluation, followed by an in-depth consultation and a written report with clear, practical guidance on next steps. We’re open 7 days a week at our Soho and Westfield London clinics, or our team can come to you at home or in your hotel.

FAQs

What time of day should I have a testosterone blood test?

Testosterone levels are naturally highest in the morning, so we recommend booking your Men’s Hormone Panel before 11am for the most accurate reading.

Why choose a private blood test instead of waiting for an NHS appointment?

A private blood test gives you fast access to testing and results, often within days, without needing to meet NHS referral criteria first. It’s a good option if you want a broader panel than your GP would routinely order, or simply want answers more quickly.

Can I use private blood test results with my NHS GP?

Yes, you’re welcome to share your private results with your NHS GP, and many patients do so to support further investigation or treatment. We provide a clear report you can pass on, though your GP will decide on any next steps within NHS pathways.

Should I avoid alcohol before a blood test?

For most general tests it isn’t essential, but we’d recommend avoiding alcohol for at least 24 hours before tests involving liver function or cholesterol, as it can temporarily affect results. If you’re unsure, our team will confirm any specific preparation when you book.
