Testosterone test (Blood)
GetTested’s Testosterone Test (Blood) measures total testosterone, the primary male sex hormone that also plays important roles in women’s health. Testosterone is essential for energy, muscle strength, libido, mood, and overall hormonal balance. Abnormal levels may be linked to symptoms such as fatigue, reduced sexual function, mood changes, or fertility issues. By analyzing testosterone in blood, the test provides a reliable assessment of hormone status.
For those who prefer a non-invasive option, GetTested also offers a saliva-based testosterone test.

Testosterone Test via Blood
Testosterone is the primary androgen hormone, produced mainly in the testes in men and in smaller amounts in the ovaries and adrenal glands in women. It plays an essential role in regulating sexual function, fertility, muscle strength, bone health, mood, and overall energy balance.
Why measure testosterone?
Abnormal testosterone levels can affect both men and women. Low testosterone in men may cause reduced libido, erectile dysfunction, fatigue, loss of muscle mass, mood changes, or infertility. In women, low levels may contribute to reduced energy, low libido, or decreased bone density, while high levels are often associated with symptoms such as irregular cycles, acne, or excess hair growth (hirsutism). Measuring testosterone can therefore provide valuable insights into reproductive health, hormone balance, and overall wellbeing.
Symptoms of testosterone imbalance
- Low testosterone in men: decreased sexual function, low energy, mood swings, loss of strength or muscle mass, increased body fat, infertility.
- High testosterone in women: irregular periods, acne, hair thinning on the scalp, increased body or facial hair, possible links to polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS).
- Low testosterone in women: fatigue, reduced libido, mood changes, and weakened bone health.
When is testing relevant?
Testing may be considered if you experience unexplained fatigue, reduced sexual function, fertility problems, mood disturbances, or symptoms suggesting hormonal imbalance. It may also be useful for individuals undergoing hormone therapy, athletes monitoring performance-related health, or women being evaluated for PCOS.

We looked at a lot of companies offering the same services but made the decision to go forward with get tested because the labs are based here in the UK. The process has been very straight forward.

There are other providers out there, I have tried 3. Gettested was the fastest and the customer service was the best. I even received my test on the day of purchase delivered by a motorbike courier.
