The gold-standard diagnosis

Begin your testosterone treatment by completing the gold-standard venous blood test. This comprehensive test is crucial to ensure an accurate diagnosis and to help identify the most appropriate treatment for you.

Once your blood test is complete, our expert TRT doctors will review your results and discuss the best course of action during a consultation.

  • Hormone levels: Analysing testosterone and oestrogen levels, thyroid function, reproductive health, and pituitary function to identify imbalances.
  • Anaemia: Testing for anaemia helps ensure an accurate testosterone deficiency diagnosis and enables a comprehensive treatment plan for better overall health.
  • Heart health: Prior to starting treatment, it's important to assess cardiovascular risk, by identifying this we can manage risk factors along the way.
  • Kidney & liver function: Pre-existing issues can affect how the body processes testosterone treatments.
  • Diabetes: Ensuring stable blood glucose levels before starting treatment reduces the risk of exacerbating diabetes-related complications.
  • Prostate health: Assessing prostate health before initiating testosterone treatment reduces the risk of exacerbating any existing prostate conditions.
