Begin Your Male Hormone Health Check
If you’re experiencing symptoms such as low energy, reduced libido, or changes in motivation, the first step towards treatment is accurate diagnostic testing. Your initial blood test provides the foundation for understanding your hormone levels and determining whether you are eligible to proceed with testosterone replacement therapy (TRT).
In line with both Gibraltar and UK medical guidelines, two separate blood tests are required to confirm low testosterone. This first screening test establishes your baseline levels and offers valuable insight into your current hormonal balance.
What This Test Measures
Your initial test will assess several key bio-markers:
- Total Testosterone
- Free Testosterone
- Albumin
- SHBG (Sex Hormone Binding Globulin)
These results not only confirm how much testosterone is present but also show how effectively your body is using it. This can help to explain common symptoms linked to hormonal imbalance. For more detail, you can refer to our guide to male hormone blood test terminology.

Preparing For Your Test
To ensure accurate and consistent results, please follow our blood testing guidelines carefully. This helps us provide you with the clearest picture of your hormonal health.
Fast and Accurate Results
Once your results are available, our medical team will review them promptly and advise on the next steps in your treatment journey. If your testosterone levels fall below the expected range, you will move on to a second, more detailed blood test.
This follow-up test includes a broader panel of hormone markers and is essential before beginning any doctor-supervised TRT programme. At Urban TRT, we follow best practice standards set by the British Society for Sexual Medicine (BSSM), ensuring your treatment is safe, effective and tailored to your individual needs.
