About this test
About this test
Symptoms
Lifestyle factors, such as stress, can have a major impact on your health, hormones, fertility, and performance. Healthy sperm counts have dropped by 50% in the last 40 years globally, making male hormones a key concern in men's health.
Imbalances of cortisol and male hormones, such as testosterone, can cause similar symptoms. The only way to know what may be causing your symptoms is to test.
Symptoms of hormonal imbalances may include:
Low energy or fatigue
Erectile dysfunction
Low sex drive or libido
Infertility
Anxiety, depression or brain fog
Trouble sleeping
Enlarged breast tissue
Bloating
Headaches
Loss of bone density
Diarrhea, nausea or vomiting
Low blood sugar
High blood pressure
Weight changes
Please talk to your healthcare provider about any concerns or symptoms.
When to test
Collect your cortisol saliva sample before your hormone blood sample, as taking blood samples can sometimes raise cortisol levels.
Being unusually stressed, scared, or injured will cause a temporary rise in your cortisol levels. Avoid vigorous exercise or sexual activity 24 hours beforehand.
You should consider taking this test if:
You are interested in learning more about your hormones
You suffer from chronic stress
You constantly feel run down
You are body-building competitively
You have previously taken anabolic steroids*
You are obese
You have a family history of low testosterone
You suffer from thyroid issues
You should collect your samples Monday-Friday, in the morning while fasting, and ensure your return is scheduled for the same day. Fasting means that you don’t eat or drink anything besides water overnight for 8 hours before collecting your sample. Always follow the advice of your healthcare provider with regards to fasting, particularly if you have any medical conditions.
*The accuracy of your test results may be affected if you have used anabolic steroids or other steroid or hormone-containing medication within the last 3-6 months, or if you have used steroid creams within the last week.
Biotin (B7) supplements may also impact your test results. Wait at least 8 hours after your last dose before collecting your sample.
This test is not suitable for anyone under the age of 18.
What's measured
Testosterone
Testosterone is a steroid hormone that plays a key role in development of secondary sex characteristics, fertility, muscle strength, and bone health.
Cortisol
Cortisol, known as the stress hormone, is released in response to stress or low blood glucose. Cortisol levels vary throughout the day and impact blood sugar levels, your metabolism, acts as an anti-inflammatory, and helps regulate blood pressure.
Prolactin
Prolactin is a hormone made in your pituitary gland and is responsible for testosterone secretion and sperm production.
Estradiol
A small amount of testosterone is converted into estradiol, the main form of estrogen in men. Estradiol is a steroid hormone that helps control erectile function, libido, and sperm production. Estradiol naturally increases as men age and as testosterone slowly decreases.
Sex Hormone Binding Globulin (SHBG)
Sex Hormone Binding Globulin (SHBG) is made by your liver. SHBG transports and controls how much of these hormones are available for your body to use. SHBG levels that are too high or too low can be a sign that there are too much or too little hormones available for your body to use.
Free Androgen Index (FAI)
Free Androgen Index (FAI) is a ratio that is calculated by comparing the total amount of testosterone against the levels of SHBG. It can help indicate how much free testosterone is available for your body to use.
With over 10 million tests taken, the reviews are in
This test kit was easy to use with complete and concise directions. Getting results within a week was a bonus. Would recommend to anyone who has questions about testosterone.
I took their male hormone test complete. I ... appreciated the discussion of my results with a nurse afterwards, which was included ... This was a more thorough service than others I have used.
Very easy flowing service. Results came in fast for my testosterone blood results. Now I can rest easy knowing I'm good in that area.😀👍
Last year I was diagnosed with iron overload - a condition that can ... interfere with hormone production ... I took things into my own hands and ordered the male hormone kit ... I highly recommend
I needed to monitor hormone levels once a month for 3-4 months and decided to try it ... the instructions were super clear. The activation process was easy and I received the results after 2 days.
The male hormone kit is amazing!
I found it difficult getting specialty lab work done through my primary care physician, such as getting my male hormone profile checked ... I decided to try out LetsGetChecked ... Very pleased
Easy kit to use. quick service
Quick, clear, and reliable. Now I can monitor my hormone levels, instead of having to justify it through a doctor
That one of their nurses called me to talk me through and answer all of my questions about one of my hormone results that came back a little high ... was also a huge bonus.
Everything was taken care of. From a step by step explanation of how best to do the test, to a phonecall from a qualified nurse explaining my results & what I should do next.
Had the male hormone test.... easy to do and 10 days later I received a call with my results. Well impressed
Excellent service. .. Comprehensive results and an easy format to read. Will be using again in a few months after I get sleep pattern correct, and hopefully get some higher values. Highly recommended
I took this test as I have experienced almost all the symptoms of low Testosterone. And ... it was clear I am in the lower end of Normal which is exactly what I suspected.
Great way to get the valuable info on the testosterone levels. Results are quick and process is detailed what to do get it done
This was a really easy test with quick results. I even received a call from a nurse concerned about my results ... I will definitely use again.
The Testosterone test was easy to follow and complete. Results were returned within 3 days.
Test instructions were clear and very easy to follow. Return process was very simple. Results came within two days of the lab receiving my test. More than satisfied.
This was my first time using a test like this and I am very happy with the experience. The directions are explained clearly and the test itself (testosterone check) was fast and easy.

Still have questions?
Here are some questions we usually get about LetsGetChecked. If you would like yours answered, please contact us ›
Activating the Male Hormone Complete test connects you to the unique alphanumeric barcode within your LetsGetChecked sample collection kit. The laboratory cannot process your sample if the test is not activated and linked to you.
LetsGetChecked works with a team of clinicians who will review your order and results.
Our clinical team is on standby throughout the testing process and, if your test results are abnormal, you may receive a call to discuss your results and next steps.
You should collect your samples Monday-Friday, in the morning while fasting, and ensure your return is scheduled for the same day.
Each of our health tests includes a prepaid delivery envelope to return your samples to the laboratory.
Fasting means that you take the test in the morning before you have breakfast. You can still drink water when fasting but avoid drinking water in the 30 minutes prior to collecting your saliva sample. Always follow the advice of your doctor with regards to fasting, particularly if you have any medical conditions.
Collect your saliva sample before your blood sample. It is important to take your samples in this order because, for some people, taking a blood sample can temporarily raise their cortisol levels. For cortisol results that most accurately reflect your average levels you should take your test at a time when you feel safe and calm and were not unusually stressed, scared, injured, or engaged in vigorous exercise in the 24 hours beforehand.
Avoid sexual activity 24 hours prior to taking your samples as it naturally raises your prolactin levels.
Collect your saliva sample before you brush your teeth. You should have fasted for 12 hours when taking your samples but do not eat, drink, or take any medication by mouth for 30 minutes prior to sample collection. Certain supplements such as biotin may impact your test result if taken less than 8 hours before sample collection. Speak to your healthcare provider before making changes to your medication schedule.
Please do not collect or return samples on a Saturday or Sunday.

These tests are not suitable if:
You are under 18 years of age.
You are at an increased risk of fainting/ loss of consciousness due to blood sample collection, including if you have an arrhythmia, history of vasovagal syncope (fainting) or fear of blood.
You have a bleeding disorder, or are taking medication that increases the risk of bleeding including (but not limited to) untreated hemophilia or use of blood thinning medications.
You have impaired lymphatic circulation in both upper limbs.
You have a skin disorder or condition that may result in poor healing, an increased risk of infection or skin ulceration — including (but not limited to) Raynaud’s, Scleroderma, peripheral vascular disease or peripheral neuropathy.
It may be more difficult to collect a sample if you have hard or callused skin on your fingertips.
Please see our FAQ on medications and supplements that could interfere with your test results for more information.
Biotin supplements may impact your test results if taken less than 8 hours before sample collection. Biotin is commonly found in multi-vitamin or B complex supplements.
Multiple medications can increase prolactin levels. These include estrogens, dopamine blockers/antagonists, some stomach acid reducers, opiates, some high blood pressure medications, anti-depressants, anti-psychotics and marijuana products.
Some medications can impact your hormone results, for example, testosterone residue on your hands when collecting your sample from topical medications such as creams, gels, or patches like topical hormone replacement therapy (HRT) or testosterone replacement therapy (TRT) can interfere with your results. Additionally, certain medications containing steroids can impact your hormone levels. If you are taking this medication please discuss the suitability of this test with your healthcare provider before purchase.
Please speak to your healthcare provider before making any changes to your medication schedule.
