Checks total and free testosterone, oestradiol, prolactin, albumin and SHBG, aimed at monitoring hormone balance during testosterone replacement therapy.
6 biomarkers as listed by Medichecks.
This test covers total and free testosterone, oestradiol and prolactin, alongside albumin and SHBG, the proteins that affect how much testosterone is available to the body. These are core markers commonly used to track how testosterone replacement therapy is affecting hormone balance.
Against the 15 tests in its comparison group, this one is priced close to the £79 median at £81, but with only 6 markers where the median is 8. Randox Health offers 8 markers for £46 or £48, and YorkTest 8 markers for £55, all cheaper and broader. Medichecks' own Male Hormone Blood Test, at £79, tests 10 markers, more than this panel for slightly less money.
This shows in the scores: clinical depth is below the group median given the narrower marker set, and value for money is only middling since the price sits slightly above the group median. It scores reasonably for collection convenience, since it needs a venous draw at a clinic or a home nurse visit, with results within 2 days, and well on trust signals and results and follow-up, reflecting Medichecks' Trustpilot record, its UKAS ISO 15189 partner labs, and doctor review of every result.
This may suit someone already using Medichecks for TRT monitoring who wants a slightly smaller panel than the full Male Hormone Blood Test, covering the core hormones without the extra markers.
If you are choosing a provider from scratch, several rivals offer more markers for less money: Randox Health tests 8 hormone markers for £46 or £48, and YorkTest 8 markers for £55, all cheaper than this £81 test. Medichecks' own Male Hormone Blood Test, at £79, covers 10 markers for £2 less than this one.
This test requires a venous blood draw, either at a Medichecks clinic or via a home nurse visit; there is no at-home finger-prick option. The lab tests the sample for total and free testosterone, oestradiol, prolactin, albumin and SHBG, and a doctor reviews the results before you receive them. Medichecks states a turnaround of around 2 days.
This six-marker TRT monitoring panel costs £81, close to its 15-test comparison group's £79 median but with fewer markers than several cheaper rivals: Randox Health tests 8 markers for £46 to £48, and YorkTest 8 markers for £55. Results come from a venous draw and take around 2 days.

This test belongs to our Male hormone panel comparison group. See how it stacks up against equivalent tests from other providers.
Deepest male hormone panel in the group, at median price
A 10-marker panel covering testosterone, other reproductive hormones and the proteins that affect hormone availability. Suited to men investigating low energy, libido or mood changes.
Calculated free testosterone below the group median price
Checks total and calculated free testosterone alongside LH, FSH, SHBG and albumin, giving a fuller picture of male hormone health than a total testosterone test alone. Suited to men with possible low testosterone symptoms such as low energy, low libido or difficulty building muscle.
10-marker panel, but Medichecks matches it for less
A 10-marker male hormone panel testing testosterone alongside free testosterone, oestradiol, SHBG, DHEAS, FSH, LH, prolactin and albumin, for a broader hormonal picture than a single testosterone test.
Cheapest at-home 8-hormone male panel in its group
An at-home finger-free blood test checking 8 male hormones, including total and free testosterone, aimed at men wondering whether hormone levels could be behind low energy, low libido or mood changes.
Broadest male hormone panel we track, priciest too
A 12-marker panel covering testosterone, oestradiol, LH, FSH, prolactin, cortisol and thyroid hormones, for men investigating symptoms like low libido, fatigue or mood changes.
10-marker hormone panel priced above the group median
A blood test covering testosterone, free testosterone, DHEA sulphate, SHBG and related hormones that affect energy, mood, libido and muscle and bone health in men. Suits men wanting a full hormone check rather than testosterone alone.
Below-median price, below-median depth male hormone panel
A 5-marker blood test measuring total and free testosterone, oestradiol, albumin and SHBG, giving more context on hormone balance than a total testosterone test alone. Aimed at men investigating symptoms of hormonal imbalance.
Fast next-day results, £2 more than the at-home version
A clinic-based blood test checking 8 male hormones, including total and free testosterone, for men wanting the same panel as the at-home Quickdraw kit but with faster results.
Same panel as Medichecks TRT test, £7.75 cheaper
A focused blood test that checks testosterone, free testosterone, SHBG, prolactin and oestradiol after you've changed your TRT protocol, so your prescriber can see how your hormone levels have responded. Suited to men already on testosterone replacement therapy rather than those wanting a first, broader check.
Male hormone panel undercut only by Randox's own test
An at-home finger-prick test measuring eight male hormone markers, including testosterone, free testosterone, LH and FSH. Suited to men aged 20 and over investigating low energy, low libido or mood changes.
Costs more than every named peer in its group
This blood test covers testosterone, free testosterone, oestradiol, prolactin, SHBG, full blood count, PSA and albumin, aimed at men already on testosterone replacement therapy. It suits routine monitoring rather than an initial low-testosterone diagnosis.
5-marker hormone panel costing more than deeper peers
A budget-tier male hormone panel testing testosterone alongside free testosterone, oestradiol, SHBG and albumin, for men who want a slightly wider check than a single testosterone test.
Includes a GP consultation, but costs far more than peers
A 9-marker blood test covering testosterone, LH, FSH, SHBG, DHEA-S, oestradiol, prolactin and albumin, with a private GP consultation included. Suited to men investigating symptoms linked to low testosterone or hormonal changes.
Six-marker male hormone panel, priciest of its peers
A nurse-collected blood test covering six male hormone markers, including testosterone, free androgen index, LH, FSH and prolactin. Suited to men with symptoms such as low sex drive, fatigue or hair loss.
Deepest male hormone panel in the group, at median price
