Testosterone Check

Standalone testosterone test for a quick, affordable check of total testosterone levels without a GP referral.

The Testosterone Check is Express Pathology's most focused and affordable test, measuring testosterone — the hormone most commonly investigated by men concerned about energy, libido, muscle mass, mood, and overall vitality. Testosterone levels peak in the late teens and early 20s, then decline by approximately 1-2% per year from age 30. Symptoms of low testosterone include persistent fatigue, reduced libido, difficulty building or maintaining muscle mass, increased body fat (especially abdominal), brain fog, irritability, and depressed mood. In women, testosterone influences libido, energy, bone density, and muscle mass — low levels are commonly overlooked in female health assessments. This test measures total testosterone as an affordable screening tool. For a more complete hormonal picture including SHBG (which determines bioavailable testosterone), LH, FSH, and other context markers, the Core Hormone Check or Male Hormonal Test provides greater insight. At $69, this is the lowest entry point for Express Pathology's testing catalogue and is suitable for those wanting a quick screening before investing in a more comprehensive panel.
