Concierge androgen testing · London
Private male testosterone panel in London, interpreted by a specialist.
A morning-sample androgen panel interpreted alongside your symptoms — with a specialist review, not a template report. TRT discussed only when clinically appropriate.
Why patients choose us
- 01
Specialist-read, not templated
A consultant endocrinologist or andrologist reads your panel alongside your symptoms — not a template report.
- 02
Morning sampling, done properly
We book you before 11am, insist on repeat testing where indicated, and interpret with the right reference ranges.
- 03
TRT only when appropriate
Testosterone replacement is a lifelong commitment. We recommend it only when the biochemistry and symptoms genuinely warrant it.

The problem
A single testosterone number is not a diagnosis.
Plenty of places will run one marker and offer TRT. Knowing whether the biochemistry is real, and whether treatment is genuinely warranted, is the part that matters.
-
Told your T is low?
We repeat the sample properly, add the markers that matter, and read it against your symptoms — not a single cut-off.
-
Considering TRT?
We spell out what it commits you to — including fertility, haematocrit and PSA — before anything is prescribed.
-
Already on TRT?
We arrange the monitoring bloods your specialist expects, on the schedule they expect.
The journey

Specialist review
- 01
Before
You tell us what is going on
A short, confidential form. Symptoms, any existing bloods, and what you want to understand.
- 02
Before
We recommend the right panel
Within one working day: total testosterone alone, full androgen panel, or a specialist review.
- 03
Before
We book the morning appointment
Sampling before 11am, fasted. We tell you exactly how to prepare.
- 04
On the day
The blood draw
A few minutes with an experienced phlebotomist. A brief scratch, and it is done.
- 05
On the day
Off to the lab
Your sample goes to a UKAS-accredited laboratory the same morning.
- 06
After
Results reviewed by a specialist
A consultant endocrinologist or andrologist reads the panel against your symptoms, not just the reference range.
- 07
After
We explain them
What is normal, what is not, whether you need to repeat, and whether TRT is even on the table.
Typical end-to-end: 3–10 days. Repeat sampling adds a week when the first reading is low.
What it shows
What the panel actually answers.
These are the reasons men come to us for testosterone testing — and the one situation where you should not.
-
Low testosterone (biochemical hypogonadism)
Confirmed low morning testosterone on repeat sampling — the biochemical foundation for any TRT discussion.
-
Andropause symptoms
The cluster of fatigue, low libido, mood change and muscle loss that men often notice in their 40s and 50s.
-
Libido concerns
Reduced sex drive that may be hormonal, vascular, psychological — or a combination. The panel helps sort that out.
-
Persistent fatigue
Unexplained tiredness where thyroid, iron and cortisol have been checked and the picture is still not clear.
-
Low mood
Low mood and irritability that has not responded to the usual measures — hormones are worth checking.
-
Muscle loss
Loss of muscle mass or strength that feels out of proportion to training and diet.
-
TRT monitoring
Ongoing bloods for men already on testosterone replacement — including haematocrit and PSA.
-
Red flag: any pituitary symptoms
Visual field defects or persistent headaches with hormone symptoms — see your GP urgently, not this page.
Popular panels
The markers we arrange most.
What each option is actually for.
-
Total testosterone (morning)
A single morning marker — useful as a first pass, but rarely enough on its own.
-
Full androgen panel
Total testosterone, SHBG, free testosterone, LH and FSH — the panel that actually answers the question.
-
Free testosterone (calculated)
The bioavailable fraction, calculated from total testosterone and SHBG.
-
LH + FSH (pituitary origin)
Distinguishes primary (testicular) from secondary (pituitary) hypogonadism.
-
SHBG
Sex hormone binding globulin — needed to interpret total testosterone properly.
-
Prolactin (rule out pituitary)
A raised prolactin can suppress testosterone and points toward a pituitary cause.
-
TRT monitoring panel
Total testosterone, haematocrit, PSA and lipids for men on replacement therapy.
-
Comprehensive men’s health screen
Androgens alongside cardiovascular, metabolic and prostate markers.
Our vetted London network
Endocrinologists and andrologists, we picked them.
Partners across central London, plus home phlebotomy for the sample itself. Not listed publicly — introductions are made privately, once we understand your case.
Selection criteria
How we choose every specialist and laboratory in our network.
-
UKAS-accredited laboratories, with results reviewed by a specialist
-
Consultant endocrinologists or andrologists interpreting the panel
-
Morning sampling, before 11am, when testosterone is at its diurnal peak
-
Reference ranges age-adjusted, not just applied as a single cut-off
-
A direct pathway to properly monitored TRT if it is clinically indicated
Preparation and practicalities
Testosterone testing done properly.
Timing, repeat sampling and the right supporting markers are what separate a useful panel from a misleading one.
-
Morning fasting sample
Testosterone is highest in the morning. We book you before 11am and ask you to fast overnight.
-
Repeat if low
A single low reading is not enough. We repeat before making any diagnosis or starting treatment.
-
SHBG matters
You need SHBG to calculate free testosterone — the bioavailable fraction that drives symptoms.
-
Pituitary hormones matter
LH, FSH and prolactin distinguish testicular from pituitary causes. Skipping them leaves the answer incomplete.
-
TRT is a lifelong commitment
Once you start, your own production usually shuts down. Stopping is not straightforward.
-
Fertility drops on TRT
TRT suppresses sperm production. If you may want children, sperm freezing is discussed first.
-
Haematocrit monitored on TRT
TRT can thicken the blood. Haematocrit is checked before starting and at regular intervals.
-
PSA baseline before TRT
A baseline PSA is taken before starting and monitored on treatment.
-
Not all “low-normal” is treatable
A borderline number without clear symptoms is not automatically a reason to start TRT.
Reading your report
An androgen panel can look intimidating. It isn’t.
However many markers are run, the report follows the same four parts.
A quiet reminder
Reference ranges are a guide, not a verdict — context is everything.
If you would like a specialist to talk you through it before any TRT discussion, just ask.
- 01 Header
Your age and symptoms
Your age, the symptoms driving the test, and any relevant history — because reference ranges alone do not decide this.
- 02 Technique
Which hormones, and when
Which markers were run, the time of day, whether fasted, and which laboratory analysed the sample.
- 03 Findings
Each marker against reference
Total testosterone, SHBG, free testosterone, LH, FSH and any others — each against its age-appropriate reference range.
- 04 Impression
The conclusion: read this first
Normal, biochemical hypogonadism, primary or secondary, and whether a TRT discussion is appropriate — read this first.
Recognised by major UK insurers
Routine screening is often self-funded; where testing is medically indicated we confirm cover with your insurer.
Frequently asked
Everything we get asked about testosterone panels.
Quick answers on cost, morning sampling, referrals, TRT eligibility, fertility and turnaround.
-
What tests actually confirm low testosterone?
A total testosterone taken before 11am, repeated on a separate morning if low, together with SHBG, free testosterone, LH and FSH. A single low reading is not a diagnosis.
-
Why does it have to be a morning sample?
Testosterone follows a strong daily rhythm and is highest in the morning. Afternoon samples routinely look low even in healthy men, which is why guidelines require sampling before 11am.
-
How is this different from a TRT clinic’s bloods?
Many TRT clinics run a short panel and then offer treatment. We take the opposite approach: a full panel read by a consultant endocrinologist or andrologist, with TRT recommended only when the biochemistry and symptoms genuinely warrant it.
-
How much does a private testosterone panel cost in London?
A single total testosterone is £75–£150, a full androgen panel £180–£350, and a full panel with a specialist consultation £350–£700. TRT monitoring bloods are typically £120–£280.
-
Do I need a referral?
No. Most private testosterone testing accepts self-referral. If a specialist review is likely, we can organise that at the same time.
-
Am I eligible for TRT?
Only if you have persistently low morning testosterone on repeat sampling together with symptoms of hypogonadism, and other causes have been considered. Borderline numbers without clear symptoms are not usually a reason to start treatment.
-
What happens to fertility on TRT?
TRT suppresses your own testosterone and sperm production. If you may want children, sperm freezing is discussed and arranged before starting.
-
Is TRT really a lifelong commitment?
In most cases, yes. Once TRT is started your own production usually shuts down, and stopping is not straightforward. That is why we take the diagnosis seriously.
-
How quickly do I get the results?
A total testosterone is back in 24–48 hours. A full androgen panel typically takes 3–5 days. Specialist consultations add a few days for the review appointment.
-
When should I see my GP urgently instead?
If you have visual field defects, persistent headaches, or sudden loss of libido alongside neurological symptoms, see your GP or an emergency service — a pituitary cause needs urgent assessment, not a private panel.
