Male Hormone Blood Tests at The Health Suite Leicester – Accurate Testing for Optimal Health and Well-being
We believe that access to accurate and reliable male hormone testing is essential for maintaining optimal health and vitality. That’s why we make it easy and affordable for anyone to get tested. So, whether you’re experiencing symptoms of low testosterone or simply want to monitor your hormone levels, The Health Suite Leicester is here to help.
In men, hormones like testosterone, luteinising hormone (LH), follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH), and even small amounts of oestradiol play a significant role in maintaining overall health. They are involved in a wide array of bodily functions, ranging from mood regulation and cognitive function to sexual health and bone density. As such, imbalances can have far-reaching effects on a man’s health and quality of life. Ensuring hormonal balance is a key component of maintaining optimal health in men. Hormonal imbalances can lead to various symptoms and health conditions. Fortunately, hormone levels can be easily checked through blood tests. Here we provide an overview of the blood tests used to assess male hormone health, focusing on the hormones that are typically measured and what the results can signify.
The Health Suite Leicester offers comprehensive Male Hormone Blood Tests to assess and monitor hormonal health in men. These tests evaluate key hormones such as testosterone, thyroid hormones, and others that influence energy levels, mood, and overall well-being. By identifying hormonal imbalances, individuals can receive personalised guidance to address symptoms like fatigue, irritability, or reduced libido. The Health Suite Leicester provides a range of private blood tests, including those for male hormones, ensuring accurate results and professional consultations to support optimal health.

Please note: It is recommended that individuals fast for 6 hours before the blood test, consuming only clear fluids during this time.
The Androstenedione blood test is an important part of male hormonal health evaluation. Androstenedione is a hormone that is a precursor to testosterone and oestrone (a form of oestrogen). In males, it’s primarily produced in the testes and adrenal glands and plays a crucial role in the development of male characteristics during puberty. Abnormally high levels of Androstenedione can lead to early puberty in boys and may be associated with conditions like congenital adrenal hyperplasia or tumours in the adrenal gland or testes.
Conversely, lower levels could indicate a problem with testicular or adrenal function. Thus, the Androstenedione blood test serves as a valuable tool in diagnosing hormonal imbalances and their underlying causes, guiding the direction of further investigation or treatment in men’s health.
Cortisol is a hormone produced by the adrenal glands that helps regulate stress response, metabolism, and blood pressure. In a male hormone blood test, measuring cortisol helps assess adrenal function, detect imbalances, and evaluate overall hormonal and metabolic health.
Free testosterone measures the active, unbound testosterone in the blood. In men, it helps assess androgen levels, detect low or high testosterone, evaluate fertility, sexual health, and guide diagnosis and treatment of hormonal imbalances.
FT4 (Free Thyroxine) measures the unbound thyroxine hormone in the blood, reflecting thyroid function. It helps detect hypo- or hyperthyroidism, assess metabolic rate, and guide treatment for thyroid or hormonal disorders.
Oestradiol, a form of oestrogen, is present in men in small amounts and plays a crucial role in bone health. The body converts a small amount of testosterone into oestradiol. High levels of oestradiol in men can lead to erectile dysfunction, loss of muscle mass, and gynecomastia (development of breast tissue). On the other hand, low levels of oestradiol can increase the risk of developing osteoporosis.
The growth hormone (GH) blood test is a key tool for assessing male health, especially when it comes to metabolism, muscle mass, and physical development. Produced by the pituitary gland, growth hormone plays an integral role in regulating body composition, body fluids, muscle and bone growth, sugar and fat metabolism, and possibly heart function. An imbalance of growth hormones in men can lead to various health issues. Lower than normal levels can result in decreased bone density, diminished muscle mass, and changes in cholesterol levels. On the other hand, excess growth hormone can lead to a condition called acromegaly, characterised by enlargement of the hands, feet, facial features, and internal organs.
Prostate-Specific Antigen (PSA) is a protein produced by the prostate gland. Measuring PSA levels in blood helps screen for prostate health issues, including enlargement, inflammation, or prostate cancer, and guides further diagnostic or treatment decisions.
Prolactin is a hormone produced by the pituitary gland that regulates milk production and reproductive functions. In a male hormone blood test, measuring prolactin helps assess fertility, sexual health, and detect pituitary or hormonal disorders.
Sex Hormone Binding Globulin (SHBG) is a protein that binds testosterone and other sex hormones, regulating their availability. Measuring SHBG in men helps assess hormone balance, free testosterone levels, and overall reproductive and metabolic health.
LH and FSH are hormones produced by the pituitary gland, a small gland located at the base of the brain. LH stimulates testosterone production, while FSH is critical for sperm production. Elevated or reduced levels of these hormones can help identify whether a hormone imbalance is due to a primary issue in the testes or a secondary issue with the pituitary gland.
Testosterone is the primary male sex hormone. It plays a key role in the development of male reproductive tissues and promotes secondary sexual characteristics, such as the growth of body hair and increased muscle and bone mass. Testosterone also influences mood and libido.
A testosterone test measures the level of testosterone in the blood. Low testosterone levels, known as hypogonadism, can cause symptoms such as fatigue, depression, reduced libido, erectile dysfunction, and changes in body composition. Conversely, high levels of testosterone, though less common, can lead to aggression and acne, and can even cause the testes to shrink.
TSH (Thyroid-Stimulating Hormone) is produced by the pituitary gland and regulates thyroid hormone production. Measuring TSH helps assess thyroid function, detect hypo- or hyperthyroidism, and guide treatment for metabolic and hormonal health.
Total testosterone measures the overall level of testosterone in the blood, including both bound and unbound forms. In men, it helps assess androgen levels, sexual and reproductive health, and detect hormonal imbalances or endocrine disorders.
