Who is this test for?
Low testosterone affects up to 1 in 4 men, yet the majority remain untreated, often unaware of the impact it has on their health and quality of life.
Reduced Energy Levels
Low testosterone can lead to persistent fatigue and decreased
motivation,
making everyday activities feel more exhausting.
Decreased Muscle Mass
Men with low T may experience a reduction in lean muscle mass, making
it
harder to maintain strength and physical fitness.
Weight Gain
Hormonal imbalances can lead to increased body fat, particularly
around the
abdomen, contributing to weight gain.
Erectile dysfunction
Low T can contribute to difficulties in achieving or maintaining an
erection,
further complicating intimate relationships.
Mood Changes
Low testosterone is linked to mood swings, irritability, and
increased
feelings of anxiety and depression, affecting overall mental well-being.
Poor sleep
Low testosterone can disrupt sleep patterns, leading to difficulties
falling
asleep or staying asleep.
Cognitive Decline
Some studies suggest low testosterone may affect cognitive functions,
leading
to difficulties with memory, concentration, and overall mental clarity.
Decreased Libido
Many men report a significant drop in sexual desire and interest,
which can
impact relationships and overall quality of life.
Bone density loss
Low testosterone is associated with decreased bone mineral density,
increasing the risk of osteoporosis and fractures over time.

Frequently asked questions

Yes, you can the results from a previous blood test provided the test was done in the last 6 months. Send the results with the subject "TRT Blood Test" to [email protected]. One of our clinicians will then be in touch to discuss the next steps. -
What are the symptoms of low testosterone?
Low testosterone can lead to symptoms like fatigue, low sex drive, erectile dysfunction, depression, and decreased muscle strength. -
Is testosterone replacement therapy safe?
Testosterone replacement therapy is safe when you are treated and monitored by an expert healthcare professional.
However, like any treatment, it’s not risk-free. Common side effects can include acne, changes in mood, and mild fluid retention. In rare cases, TRT may increase the risk of blood clots or sleep apnea.
The risk of these side effects can be reduced with careful monitoring that's why it is crucial to work with a healthcare provider who can tailor the treatment to your needs and monitor your progress regularly, ensuring safety and effectiveness.
If you are given any treatment by our prescriber, you will be constantly monitored throughout and help will be on hand if you have any concerns. -
Does testosterone replacement therapy cause hair loss?
It can contribute to hair loss in some men, especially those who are genetically predisposed to male pattern baldness. Testosterone can convert to a hormone called dihydrotestosterone (DHT), which can affect hair follicles and lead to thinning hair or balding in genetically susceptible individuals. However, not all men on TRT experience hair loss, and the effects can vary. -
How soon will the initial test arrive and when will I get my results?
The at home blood test will usually be with you in 2-3 working days. You will then receive your result a few days after. -
Why do I need to do two blood tests?
The second test is needed to confirm the first tests results, as testosterone levels can naturally fluctuate, a second test is needed to prove the first test was not a one off. -
How long does it take to work?
The length of time it takes to see a difference from testosterone replacement therapy varies from person-to-person and depends on the formulation you have chosen. Generally the quickest and best results are seen from injectable testosterone.
Injectables: Many men begin to notice improvements within 2-4 weeks. Energy levels and mood are often the first to improve, while physical changes, like muscle mass and strength, may take a bit longer, often around 6-12 weeks. Maximum benefits are typically seen around 6 months.
Gels and creams: Gels are absorbed more gradually, so effects can take a bit longer to show. Most men start feeling some changes in energy and mood after 2-4 weeks, but physical improvements may take up to 3-6 months. Consistency in application is key for steady hormone levels.
