FAQs
What is testosterone?
Testosterone is a sex hormone made by the testes in men and by the ovaries in women. It plays an important role in sex drive, fertility, mood and muscle mass.
What time should you take a testosterone test?
Take your test in the morning between 7am and 10am. This is when your testosterone levels are at their highest.
What can cause low testosterone?
Conditions that affect your testes can cause your testosterone levels to drop, along with direct injury, infection or radiation.
Genetic conditions such as Klinefelter syndrome (when boys are born with an extra X chromosome) can also lower your testosterone levels.
Tumours, auto-immune conditions and some medications can trigger low testosterone too.
How does low testosterone affect your fertility?
Low testosterone levels can affect fertility by causing a drop in your sperm production. They can also indirectly affect your fertility by lowering your sex drive and causing erectile dysfunction.
How should you prepare for a testosterone test?
You generally don't need to do anything to prepare for a testosterone test. However, sometimes you may need to stop taking medications that could affect your testosterone levels. Some medications that can artificially increase your testosterone levels include hormone therapies and steroids. Do not stop taking any prescribed medications without speaking to your doctor first.
What are some symptoms of low testosterone?
Signs and symptoms of low testosterone levels include:
Why is testosterone important?
Testosterone is a major sex hormone which has a crucial role in males. Some of testosterone's functions include:
Testosterone also plays a vital role in females. Small amounts of it are made in the ovaries and adrenal glands, and – when combined with oestrogen – it helps with bone health, menstrual health and sex drive.
Can I take this test if I’m pregnant?
Talk to your doctor before taking this test. Being pregnant can have a noticeable impact on your results, so make sure to check in with your GP first.

Misleading description.
The description says finger prick test but it requires the whole tube filled to the top with blood which I could not do, this should be made clearer on the H&B website
