Male Hormone Testing
Testosterone Level Check

Male hormone testing is an important step for men who begin to notice physical and emotional changes - such as fatigue, reduced sexual performance or fat build-up around the abdomen. Checking and optimising your testosterone level can help extend your youthful years.

Understanding

What is the male hormone (testosterone)?

Testosterone is the main male hormone, produced by the testicles and adrenal glands. It plays a key role in developing male characteristics such as body hair, muscle, sex drive and sperm production. A balanced hormone level keeps the body working at full efficiency.

Testosterone helps keep a man's body balanced both physically and mentally. It is not only about sexual performance but also governs muscle and bone development, and drives confidence, energy and genital function.

Causes and symptoms of low hormones

Causes of low testosterone

A declining testosterone level can arise from several causes:

Increasing age
Testosterone starts to fall by about 1% a year after age 30.
Diseases and treatments
Side effects of radiotherapy/chemotherapy, testicular infections, and diseases such as diabetes, kidney disease and pituitary tumours.
Behaviour and lifestyle
Smoking, regular alcohol use and high stress all suppress testosterone levels.

Symptoms of low testosterone

If you have these symptoms, get tested soon:

Emotional & mental
Mood swings, irritability, depression, insomnia and poor concentration.
Physical
Tiring easily, hair loss, dry skin, easy weight gain and belly fat, reduced muscle and bone, and thinning bones.
Sexual performance
Reduced sex drive, difficulty getting or maintaining an erection, smaller testicles and less semen.

What does male hormone testing include?

Testing testosterone alone may not be enough for diagnosis. The doctor will recommend testing it together with the following panel:

Services Offered

  • Testosterone (main male hormone)
  • Free Testosterone
  • SHBG (Sex Hormone Binding Globulin)
  • PSA (Prostate-Specific Antigen)
  • FSH & LH (testicular control hormones)
  • Prolactin
  • CBC (complete blood count)
  • HbA1C (3-month average blood sugar)
  • Lipid Set (blood lipids)
  • FT3, FT4, TSH (thyroid)
Measures both total and free testosterone - the hormone the body can use directly - which is key to sex drive, muscle building and sexual performance.
A protein that binds sex hormones. High SHBG can lower free testosterone in the blood even when total testosterone is normal.
Screens for prostate cancer - required before and during hormone replacement therapy for safety.
Hormones that control testicular function and sperm production; their levels help identify whether the problem lies in the testicles or the pituitary gland.
In men, high prolactin can affect sexual performance and sex drive and may indicate a pituitary tumour.
A comprehensive health check: complete blood count, 3-month average blood sugar, blood lipids and thyroid - because all of these affect hormone levels and overall performance.

How to raise testosterone levels

Besides medical treatment, you can raise hormones through lifestyle changes:

Services Offered

  • Exercise regularly, especially weight training
  • Eat a balanced diet (protein, healthy fats, vitamin D, zinc)
  • Get enough rest - at least 7-8 hours a night
  • Avoid smoking and alcohol
  • Manage stress (lower cortisol)
  • Consult a doctor about hormone replacement therapy (HRT)
Muscle-focused exercise such as weightlifting best stimulates the body's testosterone production.
Eat protein, healthy fats, vitamin D and zinc, and sleep 7-8 hours - the body produces the most hormones during deep sleep.
When hormones are very low, the doctor may consider HRT as a gel, injection or patch, under close supervision and monitoring.
