MEN’S HEALTH Male Testosterone Profile
🔍 Service Overview
The Male Testosterone Profile is a specialist blood test designed to assess key male hormones that impact energy, libido, muscle mass, mood, fertility, and overall well-being. This test is ideal for men experiencing symptoms of low testosterone, as well as those interested in optimising their hormonal health, especially in their 30s, 40s, and beyond.
✅ What’s Included?
Hormonal Markers Assessed:
Total Testosterone
Measures the overall level of testosterone in the bloodstream, including both bound and unbound forms.
Free Testosterone
Represents the biologically active form of testosterone that’s available for use by the body.
Sex Hormone Binding Globulin (SHBG)
A protein that binds to testosterone and affects how much is freely available.
Albumin
Another protein that binds testosterone; used to help calculate Free Androgen Index.
Free Androgen Index (FAI)
A calculated ratio of total testosterone to SHBG, helping assess androgen activity.
Follicle Stimulating Hormone (FSH)
Evaluates sperm production and testicular function.
Luteinising Hormone (LH)
Stimulates testosterone production in the testes—key for identifying causes of low testosterone.
Prolactin
Elevated levels can reduce testosterone and libido and may suggest pituitary dysfunction.

These pituitary hormones regulate testosterone production and sperm development. Low levels may indicate secondary hypogonadism (pituitary origin), while high levels with low testosterone suggest primary testicular dysfunction.
It’s a ratio that gives a clearer picture of how much active testosterone is circulating and available to tissues. It’s especially useful when SHBG levels are abnormal due to age, liver function, or thyroid issues.
