Hormones govern far more of your daily experience than most people realise. They regulate your energy, mood, libido, sleep quality, body composition, fertility, and stress response. When hormone levels fall out of balance — whether through age, lifestyle, or an underlying condition — the effects can be wide-ranging and deeply disruptive. Yet hormonal imbalance is one of the most commonly missed root causes of persistent, unexplained symptoms.
If you have been experiencing low energy, reduced libido, mood changes, irregular periods, fertility concerns, or symptoms you suspect may be related to menopause or low testosterone, a private Hormone Profile gives you the objective data you need to understand what is actually happening in your body.
Trupoint Health offers separate male and female hormone panels, each designed to assess the specific hormones most relevant to your physiology. No GP referral is needed, results are returned securely within 24–48 hours, and all testing is carried out by our qualified phlebotomists and analysed by accredited laboratories.

What Does the Hormone Profile Include?
We offer two distinct hormone panels — one tailored to male physiology and one to female physiology — each measuring the markers most clinically relevant to your health and concerns.
Male Hormone Profile
Total Testosterone is the primary male sex hormone, responsible for energy, muscle mass, libido, mood, and cognitive function. Low total testosterone is associated with persistent fatigue, low drive, loss of muscle, increased body fat, and emotional changes.
Free Testosterone represents the biologically active fraction of testosterone — the portion that is unbound and available to cells. Even when total testosterone appears within range, low free testosterone can produce all the symptoms of deficiency.
LH (Luteinising Hormone) is the pituitary signal that instructs the testes to produce testosterone. Measuring LH alongside testosterone helps distinguish between primary and secondary hypogonadism, which is important for understanding the root cause.
FSH (Follicle Stimulating Hormone) plays a key role in sperm production and testicular function. Abnormal FSH levels can indicate fertility concerns or underlying hormonal dysregulation.
SHBG (Sex Hormone Binding Globulin) is a protein that binds to testosterone in the bloodstream, making it unavailable to cells. High SHBG can leave a man with a normal total testosterone reading but very little free, usable hormone — one of the most common reasons for persistent low testosterone symptoms in men with apparently normal results.
Oestradiol (E2) is present in men as well as women. In men, a degree of oestradiol is essential for bone health and cardiovascular function — but elevated levels can cause fatigue, low libido, and mood changes.
Prolactin — elevated prolactin in men suppresses testosterone production and can cause fatigue, reduced libido, and in significant cases, visual disturbances if driven by a pituitary adenoma.
Female Hormone Profile
Oestradiol (E2) is the primary oestrogen and the central regulator of the female reproductive cycle. It plays a role in bone density, cardiovascular health, mood, and skin quality. Oestradiol levels decline sharply through perimenopause and menopause.
Progesterone is produced predominantly in the second half of the menstrual cycle following ovulation. It is essential for cycle regularity, fertility, and maintaining early pregnancy. Low progesterone is one of the most common and underdiagnosed hormonal issues in women.
LH and FSH are pituitary hormones that drive ovulation and regulate the menstrual cycle. Together they are key markers in assessing ovarian function, confirming ovulation, and diagnosing PCOS. In perimenopause and menopause, FSH rises significantly — measuring it provides objective confirmation of where you are in this transition.
Testosterone (Total and Free) plays an important role in energy, libido, mood, and motivation in women. Low testosterone in women is often overlooked but is a real and treatable cause of persistent fatigue and low drive, particularly in the perimenopause.
SHBG affects how much testosterone and oestrogen is biologically available. In women, it is often elevated by the oral contraceptive pill, which can suppress free testosterone and cause low libido even when total hormone levels appear normal.
AMH (Anti-Müllerian Hormone) is the most reliable marker of ovarian reserve — the number and quality of eggs remaining. It is the key test for women planning a family who want to understand their fertility window.
Prolactin — elevated prolactin can disrupt the menstrual cycle, suppress ovulation, cause breast tenderness, and reduce libido. It may indicate a treatable pituitary condition.
All tests are carried out by our qualified phlebotomists and analysed by accredited laboratories.
Who Should Consider a Hormone Profile?
A Hormone Profile is relevant to a broad range of people, and you do not need a specific diagnosis in mind to benefit from one. Men experiencing persistent low energy, reduced libido, unexplained weight gain, or difficulty building muscle should consider the male hormone panel. These symptoms are often attributed to stress or ageing without investigation — yet low testosterone is a clinically identifiable and addressable condition.
Women experiencing irregular or absent periods, PMS, unexplained fatigue, reduced libido, or difficulty conceiving will find the female hormone panel a valuable diagnostic tool. It is equally relevant to women in the perimenopause who are experiencing hot flushes, sleep disruption, mood changes, or cognitive fog. Women investigating PCOS, or those who want to understand their fertility reserve before making family planning decisions, should include AMH in their panel.
For both sexes, reassurance is itself a reason to test. Knowing that your hormones are within a healthy range can be just as valuable as identifying a problem.
What to Expect at Your Appointment
Your appointment will take no more than 15 minutes. Our phlebotomist will confirm your details and take a small blood sample from a vein, usually in the crease of the elbow.
Timing is important for female hormone testing. For FSH, LH, and Oestradiol, we recommend testing on days 2–5 of your cycle (day 1 being the first day of your period). For Progesterone, day 21 of a 28-day cycle captures the luteal phase peak. AMH can be tested at any point in your cycle. If your cycles are irregular, please contact our team for personalised advice.
For the male hormone panel, morning appointments are preferred as testosterone levels are naturally higher earlier in the day. Results are delivered to your secure online portal within 24–48 hours, with each marker presented with a clear explanation and reference range.
Why Choose Trupoint Health for Your Hormone Profile?
Our male and female profiles are tailored to the markers most relevant to each, and we include markers such as Free Testosterone and SHBG that many basic panels omit — precisely because they are often where the real clinical picture lies. No GP referral is needed. You book online, attend a comfortable appointment with one of our qualified phlebotomists, and receive your results securely within 24–48 hours.
Our pricing is entirely transparent with no hidden charges. We serve clients across Gloucestershire and the surrounding areas, with a confidential, UK GDPR-compliant service — your health data is yours and yours alone.

Hormone Profile — Frequently Asked Questions
Do I need a GP referral for a private Hormone Profile?
No. You can book your male or female Hormone Profile directly with Trupoint Health, online, at any time. This is particularly useful if your GP has been reluctant to refer you for hormonal testing, or if you want to investigate symptoms proactively rather than waiting for a referral pathway.
How quickly will I receive my hormone test results?
Results are typically available within 24–48 hours of your appointment, delivered to your secure personal online portal. Each hormone marker is presented alongside its reference range and a plain-language explanation of what the result means.
Do I need to fast before my Hormone Profile?
Fasting is not generally required for hormone testing. For the male panel, we recommend attending in the morning when testosterone levels are at their natural daily peak. For the female panel, timing within your menstrual cycle is more important than fasting — please see the guidance above or contact our team for personalised advice.
How much does a private Hormone Profile cost?
Trupoint Health operates on transparent, fixed pricing with no hidden fees. Please visit our booking page for current panel prices for both the male and female profiles. AMH and individual add-on markers are also available — contact our team to discuss a tailored approach.
What happens if my results show something abnormal?
Results outside the standard reference range will be clearly flagged in your portal with an accompanying explanation. We recommend discussing any out-of-range results with your GP or a specialist in hormonal health, who can advise on next steps including lifestyle changes or hormone therapy.
Is my information kept confidential?
Yes, fully. Trupoint Health is UK GDPR-compliant and registered with the ICO. Your health data is stored securely and never shared with third parties — including your GP — without your explicit consent.
On what day of my cycle should I have my female hormone test done?
For FSH, LH, and Oestradiol, days 2–5 of your cycle are ideal (day 1 being the first day of your period). For Progesterone, day 21 of a standard 28-day cycle is the most informative point. AMH can be tested at any point in your cycle. If your cycles are irregular or you are currently in perimenopause, please contact our team for specific guidance.
Can the Hormone Profile help if I suspect I have PCOS?
Yes. The female Hormone Profile includes LH and FSH — whose ratio is frequently elevated in PCOS — along with Testosterone and SHBG, which are commonly abnormal in women with the condition. While PCOS requires a clinical diagnosis that includes ultrasound assessment, the hormone panel provides the blood-marker component and can support a conversation with your GP or gynaecologist.
