Testosterone is a sex hormone produced by the testes in men. Women also produce testosterone in their ovaries and adrenal glands, but usually in smaller quantities.
An easy and convenient Testosterone Blood Test kit to measure the total level of testosterone in your blood, a sex hormone essential for sex drive, muscle mass, fertility, and mood.
Testosterone is a sex hormone produced by the testes in men. Women also produce testosterone in their ovaries and adrenal glands, but usually in smaller quantities. Testosterone governs many essential body functions, such as sex drive (libido), energy levels, healthy bones, muscle mass, strength, and mood. It also controls sperm production, so changes in this hormone can affect fertility.
Stress levels, how much alcohol you drink, and the amount of exercise you do can all affect the amount of testosterone your body makes. Low testosterone levels can sometimes cause unwanted symptoms, such as low sex drive and low mood. Both men and women may experience a natural decrease in their testosterone levels with age.
Measuring your testosterone level is easy with our simple testosterone finger-prick blood test kit, which you can do at home or in a clinic. With our UK Testosterone Blood Test, you’ll get expert advice and follow-up on steps to take if your testosterone level is outside the normal range.
Please take your sample before 10am. If you use hormone gels, pessaries, patches, or tablets, we strongly recommend a venous sample to minimise contamination. Hormones can be absorbed deep within the skin even after minimal contact and remain there for weeks despite vigorous handwashing. Do not take biotin supplements for two days before this test, discuss this with your doctor if it is prescribed.
Follicle Stimulating Hormone (FSH) is produced in the pituitary gland and is important for women in the production of eggs by the ovaries and for men for men in the production of sperm. In the first half of the menstrual cycle in women, FSH stimulates the enlargement of follicles within the ovaries. Each of these follicles will help to increase oestradiol levels. One follicle will become dominant and will be released by the ovary (ovulation), after which follicle stimulating hormone levels drop during the second half of the menstrual cycle. In men, FSH acts on the seminiferous tubules of the testicles where they stimulate immature sperm cells to develop into mature sperm.
