Confidential blood testing

The Men’s Health Clinic provides straightforward access to the blood tests required for both initial assessment and ongoing monitoring.

For accuracy and reliability, we recommend venous sampling for all tests. You can attend our Dorset clinic or a local clinic near you, arrange your own qualified healthcare professional, or have a nurse visit your home or workplace at a time that suits you.

All diagnostic tests include expert review by one of our doctors, as well as a complimentary telephone discussion to go through your results and provide clear, clinically guided recommendations.

Full details of our available blood tests and sample collection options can be found below.

Blood Test Options

TRT Complete PLUS + Complimentary Doctor Call: £169

This comprehensive blood panel (47 markers) includes everything required for an initial assessment of testosterone deficiency, as well as ongoing monitoring of your general health whilst on treatment.

We believe a first blood test should be thorough. Looking beyond testosterone alone allows us to identify potential underlying or reversible causes of your symptoms from the outset, giving a clearer, more complete understanding of your health before any further testing or treatment is considered.

Alongside a full hormone profile, this panel assesses key health markers to provide a clearer, more complete picture of your overall health. It also includes selected vitamin and mineral markers, which can play an important role in supporting optimal hormone function.

This is a venous blood test, providing the most accurate and reliable results. It can be carried out in clinic or remotely, with a range of sample collection options available.


Complimentary Doctor Call (New Patients Only)

In some cases, this test may also be used as a confirmatory blood test during an initial assessment, particularly where previous testing has not included all of the required diagnostic markers.

This is a venous blood test, providing the most accurate and reliable results. It can be carried out in clinic or remotely, with a range of sample collection options available.

Confirmatory Blood Test

Total Testosterone + Complimentary Doctor Call: £29

This test is intended as a basic confirmatory blood test and is not suitable as a standalone initial diagnostic test. It should be used to support findings from a comprehensive panel.

The British Society for Sexual Medicine (BSSM) guidelines recommend at least two low testosterone readings, ideally taken four weeks apart, before considering Testosterone Replacement Therapy.


Complimentary Doctor Call (New Patients Only)

All diagnostic blood tests include a complimentary telephone discussion with Dr Stevens or Dr Williams to review your results and discuss your suitability for treatment. This will be arranged once your results have been received from the laboratory.


Test Includes:
  • Total Testosterone
Special Instructions:
  • This diagnostic test should be performed fasted (from midnight the night before your appointment), between 07:00-11:00, and not during an episode of acute illness.
  • Please ensure that you drink plenty of water prior to your blood test.

Add-On Blood Tests

The following tests can only be ordered in addition to one of the blood test profiles listed above. They cannot be ordered as stand-alone tests.

Prostate Specific Antigen (PSA): £49

This blood test measures the amount of Prostate Specific Antigen (PSA) in your blood. PSA is a protein produced by normal cells in the prostate and also by prostate cancer cells. It is normal to have a small amount of PSA in your blood, and the amount rises slightly as you get older and your prostate gets bigger. A raised PSA level may suggest you have a problem with your prostate, but this does not necessarily mean cancer. All abnormal results should be discussed with your doctor.


Test Includes:
  • Total Prostate Specific Antigen
Special Instructions:
  • For an accurate PSA result, you should not have an active urinary infection, ejaculated or exercised heavily in the last 48 hours; had a prostate biopsy in the last 6 weeks or had a DRE (digital rectal examination) in the last week.

Cystatin C: £99

Cystatin C is a more sensitive and accurate marker of kidney function than creatinine, particularly in people with higher muscle mass or those on testosterone therapy. Because TRT can increase muscle mass (which can falsely elevate creatinine), measuring cystatin C provides a clearer picture of true kidney health and filtration efficiency.


 

Test Includes:
  • Cystatin C
Special Instructions:
  • None

Dihydrotestosterone (DHT): £119

Dihydrotestosterone (DHT) is one of your bioavailable male androgens. Testosterone is converted to DHT by the enzyme 5-alpha reductase which is located in the testes and prostate. DHT has effects on brain function (including libido), muscle growth and repair, and prostate health.


Please note that this test is sent to a referral lab for processing and results can take up to 10 working days to arrive.


Test Includes:
  • Dihydrotestosterone
Special Instructions:
  • None

Dehydroepiandrosterone Sulphate (DHEA-S): £59

Dehydroepiandrosterone (DHEA) is a hormone produced from cholesterol by the adrenal glands, which your body converts into testosterone and oestrogen. It affects many areas of health and wellbeing. Most of the DHEA in the body exists in the blood in the sulphated form, DHEA-S, which is what this test measures.


Test Includes:
  • Dehydroepiandrosterone Sulphate
Special Instructions:
  • Do not take biotin supplements for 2 days prior to this test. If you are taking prescribed biotin, you should discuss this with your doctor.

Pregnenolone: £189

Pregnenolone is the precursor to all steroid hormones. For steroid hormone production, cholesterol converts into pregnenolone in the adrenal glands and then several enzymes complete the production of multiple hormones.


Please note that this test is sent to a referral lab for processing and results can take up to 20 working days to arrive.


Test Includes:
  • Pregnenolone
Special Instructions:
  • None

Serum Cortisol: £49

Cortisol plays a role in metabolism and is the main hormone involved in stress and the fight-or-flight response. Disorders of the adrenal glands can cause the over or underproduction of stress hormones which can cause symptoms such as excessive fatigue, anxiety, insomnia and weight gain. This test measures whether your cortisol production levels are too high or too low, which could be having a negative impact on your sense of well-being.


Test Includes:
  • Serum Cortisol
Special Instructions:
  • Please take your sample as soon as possible after waking, and before 10:00.
  • Your result could be affected by corticosteroid medication (e.g. prednisolone). Ask your doctor whether you should stop before testing.
  • Do not take biotin supplements for 2 days prior to this test. If you are taking prescribed biotin, you should discuss this with your doctor.
