Home Testosterone Test Kit
A testosterone test measures the level of testosterone in your body. Testosterone plays an important role in energy levels, mood, muscle mass, bone density, libido, and overall wellbeing. Levels can change over time due to age, lifestyle, or medical factors.
Burst Health provides access to a home saliva testosterone test kit, allowing you to collect your sample privately. For those who prefer laboratory testing, a pathology referral for a testosterone blood test can also be arranged.
Results are typically available within 3–5 business days once the sample is received and processed.
What Is a Testosterone Test?
A testosterone test is used to measure the amount of testosterone in the body.
Burst Health offers two testing pathways:
• Home saliva testosterone test kit – collected privately and sent to a certified laboratory for analysis
• Pathology referral for a testosterone blood test – collected at an approved pathology centre
Both methods are designed to provide insight into testosterone levels, although blood testing remains the standard laboratory method when clinically required.
This test may be used to investigate symptoms such as:
- Ongoing fatigue or low energy
- Changes in mood or concentration
- Reduced muscle strength or physical performance
- Changes in sexual health or libido
- Erectile dysfunction
- Suspected hormonal imbalance
Testosterone levels are typically checked using a blood sample collected in a clinical setting, as blood testing provides the most accurate measurement.
Home Saliva Testosterone Test
The home saliva kit allows you to collect your sample in a private setting following clear instructions. The sample is then sent to an accredited laboratory for analysis.
This option offers convenience and discretion without needing to attend a clinic.
Blood Test for Testosterone (Pathology Referral)
If preferred, Burst Health can issue a pathology referral form for a testosterone blood test. Blood testing testosterone levels is widely used in clinical settings and may be appropriate depending on your needs.
The blood sample is collected at a partnered pathology centre and analysed by a certified laboratory.
Testosterone level testing may help:
- Identify unusually low or high testosterone levels
- Support further medical investigation if symptoms are present
- Guide discussions with a healthcare practitioner about next steps
Test results should always be interpreted by a qualified health professional, as testosterone levels can vary based on time of day, age, medical history, and individual circumstances.
Why Should I Take a Testosterone Test?
Blood testing is the standard method used to check testosterone levels and can provide valuable insight into hormonal health. For many people, testing helps explain symptoms and supports informed discussions with a healthcare professional.
A testosterone test alone does not diagnose a condition or determine treatment. Results must be considered alongside symptoms, medical history, and clinical judgement.
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs) About Testosterone Testing
