Your appointment at Trupoint Health in Gloucester is confidential, professional, and unhurried. On arrival you will be welcomed by our team, checked in quickly, and seen promptly.
A small venous blood sample is collected from your arm in a few minutes. Morning testing is recommended, and if this is your first testosterone test, our team will advise you on what to expect from the result and interpretation process.
Results are returned within 24 to 48 hours via your secure patient portal. A clinician is available to discuss what your total testosterone level means for your health and to advise on next steps, whether that is lifestyle changes, further testing, or follow-up with your GP.

Understanding Your Results

pexels-guilhermealmeida-1858175
8.0 – 29.0 nmol/L
the typical reference range for adult men
8.0 – 12.0 nmol/L (Men)
may be borderline in the presence of symptoms and warrant further assessment.
0 – 8.0 nmol/L (Men)
in a symptomatic man are generally consistent with hypogonadism.
< 0.5 nmol/L (Women)
0.3 to 2.0 nmol/L is the typical reference range for adult women. Low testosterone in women is not standardised but levels below 0.5 nmol/L in a symptomatic woman are clinically relevant.
Reference ranges are laboratory-specific and age-adjusted ranges are available. Your clinician will interpret your result in the context of your age, symptoms, and any other hormone results obtained at the same time. Total testosterone alone does not fully reflect bioavailable testosterone. Where total testosterone is borderline, testing free testosterone and SHBG gives a more complete picture of actual hormone availability. Results should be discussed with a qualified clinician. Trupoint Health provides results interpretation support as part of your appointment.

Test Limitations

Total testosterone measurement includes both bound and free fractions, but it is the free fraction that is biologically active. In cases where SHBG is elevated (which is common in older men and people with thyroid disease), total testosterone may appear adequate while free testosterone is actually low. Total testosterone also varies significantly throughout the day and between days, meaning a single result requires careful interpretation. Results can be affected by acute illness, significant weight changes, certain medications, and alcohol. For a complete picture of testosterone status, free testosterone and SHBG should be tested alongside total testosterone.

Frequently Asked Questions

[“

Natural approaches to supporting healthy testosterone levels include regular resistance training, maintaining a healthy body weight, prioritising sleep quality, reducing chronic stress, and ensuring adequate zinc, magnesium, and vitamin D. Alcohol and obesity both reduce testosterone. For men with clinically low testosterone and significant symptoms, testosterone replacement therapy under medical supervision is an option to discuss with your GP.<\/p>\n”,”

Testosterone is a steroid hormone produced primarily in the testes in men and in smaller amounts by the ovaries and adrenal glands in women. It is essential for muscle mass, bone density, red blood cell production, libido, mood, and metabolic function. Levels naturally decline with age in both sexes.<\/p>\n”]
