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.
8 biomarkers as listed by YorkTest.
The Male Hormones Test measures eight markers: SHBG, free androgen index, FSH, LH, prolactin, testosterone, free testosterone and albumin. These are commonly used together to look at hormonal balance in relation to symptoms such as low energy, reduced libido, mood changes or loss of muscle mass. It is suitable for men aged 20 and over, with the sample ideally taken in the morning.
Within its male hormone panel comparison group, its eight markers match the group median exactly, and at £55 its price sits 30% below the £79 median. The only named peers cheaper for the same eight-marker count are Randox Health's Male Hormone Quickdraw at £46 and Male Hormone Test at £48; all other named peers, including Medichecks' 10-marker Male Hormone Blood Test at £79, cost more for a similar or narrower panel.
It scores well for Value for money and for Trust signals, the latter reflecting YorkTest's Trustpilot rating of 4.8 from 3,257 reviews, its UKAS-accredited lab, and 44 years of trading. It scores lower for Results and follow-up because results are not reviewed by a doctor as standard, though the listing does say it signposts you to see your GP if needed.
This suits men aged 20 and over who want a broad eight-marker hormone check, including free testosterone, without paying the higher prices charged by most other providers for a similar or smaller panel. If price is the only factor, Randox Health's Male Hormone Quickdraw at £46 or Male Hormone Test at £48 are cheaper for the same eight markers. It is not the right choice if you want a doctor to review your results as standard.
You take an at-home finger-prick blood sample, ideally in the morning, and return it to YorkTest's laboratory. The eight hormone markers are analysed together, and results are provided with signposting to see your GP if needed, delivered within a stated 7 days. Doctor review is not included as standard.
Eight hormone markers, including testosterone, free testosterone, LH and FSH, are covered by this £55 test, priced 30% below the £79 median for its comparison group.

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.
Pricier and narrower than several rival male hormone panels
Checks total and free testosterone, oestradiol, prolactin, albumin and SHBG, aimed at monitoring hormone balance during testosterone replacement therapy.
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.
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
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.
