About this test

This panel measures 10 markers connected to male hormonal health: testosterone and free testosterone, the pituitary hormones FSH and LH, oestradiol, prolactin and DHEA sulphate, plus albumin and SHBG, two proteins that affect how much of your testosterone is biologically active. Together they give you a fuller picture of hormone balance than a testosterone-only test, which is relevant if you have symptoms like low energy, reduced muscle mass, low libido or mood changes.

Among the male hormone tests we compare it against, this one has the most markers, 10 against a median of 8, while its £79 price sits exactly at the group median. Cheaper alternatives include Randox Health's Male Hormone Quickdraw (£46) and Male Hormone Test (£48), and YorkTest's Male Hormones Test (£55), though all three test fewer markers. Pricier options in the same group, such as Medichecks' own TRT with Free Testosterone Blood Test (£81), actually cover fewer markers (6) despite costing slightly more.

The test scores well across the board: it can be done with an at-home finger-prick sample, though Medichecks recommends a venous draw instead to avoid contamination from testosterone gels or creams; turnaround is around two days, one of the fastest in this comparison, and every result comes with a doctor's comment.

Who is it for?

This test suits men investigating symptoms such as low energy, reduced muscle mass, low libido or mood changes who want a fuller hormone picture than a testosterone-only test. It's also a reasonable choice if you want to track several related hormones without ordering multiple single-marker tests.

If you mainly want to check testosterone alone and are working to a tighter budget, Randox Health's Male Hormone Quickdraw (£46) or Male Hormone Test (£48) cost less, though they cover 8 markers rather than 10. If you're specifically monitoring TRT, Medichecks' own TRT with Free Testosterone Blood Test (£81) is a more targeted, though not cheaper, option.

How it works

You can collect a finger-prick sample at home, though Medichecks recommends a venous draw at a clinic or via a home nurse visit instead, since finger-prick samples carry a higher risk of contamination from testosterone gels, creams or contact with contaminated surfaces. Once the sample reaches the lab it's analysed for all 10 markers, with results typically available within two days and reviewed with a doctor's comment.

Pros & cons

Pros

  • Tests 10 hormone-related markers, more than any of the eight tests we compare it with.
  • One of the fastest turnarounds in its comparison group, at around two days.
  • Doctor's comment included with every result.
  • Multiple collection options, including a home nurse visit.

Cons

  • Finger-prick sampling isn't recommended by the provider due to contamination risk.
  • Priced at the group median, so several tests with fewer markers cost less.

Our editorial score

Compare Health Test Score Deepest male hormone panel in the group, at median price
Editorial confidence: 10.0/10

Ten hormone-related markers are covered by this £79 test, more than any of the eight comparable male hormone tests we track, and its price matches the group's median. Cheaper options exist, such as Randox Health's Male Hormone Quickdraw at £46, but those test fewer markers. The provider recommends a venous draw over a finger-prick sample to avoid contamination from testosterone products on the skin.
