Checks cholesterol, blood glucose (HbA1c) and testosterone from a finger-prick sample, markers that can point to physical causes of erectile dysfunction such as high cholesterol, diabetes or low testosterone. Suits men wanting an initial check before seeing a doctor.
8 biomarkers as listed by MyHealthChecked.
This test combines the standard six-marker cholesterol and lipid panel (total cholesterol, HDL, LDL, non-HDL, the cholesterol ratio and triglycerides) with two extra markers: HbA1c, which reflects average blood glucose over roughly three months, and testosterone. The idea is to check for several physical factors, including high cholesterol, diabetes and low testosterone, that can sit behind erectile dysfunction symptoms.
Against the eight tests we compare it with in the cholesterol and lipid group, priced between £29 and £49, this £79 test is the most expensive, though it also tests more markers than any of them. If you only want the plain cholesterol panel, MyHealthChecked's own Cholesterol Profile Blood Test covers the same six lipid markers for £45, £34 less.
The extra markers push the clinical depth score to the maximum, but the price sits well above the group median, which is reflected in a low value for money score. Results and follow-up score well because a GP reviews the results and gives recommendations.
This suits men who want a single test covering cholesterol, blood glucose and testosterone together as a first check before discussing erectile dysfunction symptoms with a doctor. If cost matters more than convenience, testing cholesterol and testosterone separately, for example with MyHealthChecked's own Cholesterol Profile Blood Test at £45, would cost less overall if you do not need every marker at once. This test does not diagnose the cause of erectile dysfunction, and the provider recommends discussing results with a doctor.
You take a finger-prick blood sample at home and post it to MyHealthChecked's UK laboratory. Results are ready in 2 to 3 working days, and a GP reviews them and provides recommendations on next steps.
For £79, this test combines the standard six-marker cholesterol panel with HbA1c and testosterone, aimed at men wanting to check physical causes of erectile dysfunction before seeing a doctor. It is the most expensive of the eight tests we compare it with in the cholesterol and lipid group, whose prices run from £29 to £49, because it tests more markers, but that also makes it a costly way to get a plain cholesterol check alone.
