About the test
This comprehensive health check is designed for those who are considering testosterone replacement therapy or who are on testosterone replacement and need to have their treatment monitored.
Many men are interested to know if the symptoms they are suffering from are due to low testosterone levels and whether these symptoms could be improved with testosterone replacement.
This test will check your testosterone levels, but will also check for other conditions such as kidney disease, anaemia, or thyroid dysfunction that can cause similar symptoms.
Whilst some men may benefit from testosterone replacement, like all medical treatments it is not without risks. Because of this we recommend a health check before you start and then regularly once you are on treatment.
