Testosterone is a crucial hormone for both men and women, known for its role in the development of male characteristics, muscle mass, bone density, and sexual functions. It is primarily produced in the testes in men and the ovaries in women, with small amounts originating from the adrenal glands.
Testing testosterone is useful for various reasons, such as evaluating unexplained changes in body composition, libido, energy levels, and mood. It is also helpful for people experiencing symptoms that may indicate hormonal imbalance, such as reduced muscle mass, changes in sexual function, or unusual fatigue.
The amount of testosterone in your blood can provide insight into your hormonal health. It helps in diagnosing various conditions, such as hypogonadism in men and polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) in women. It can also assist in evaluating how well the testes, ovaries, and adrenal glands are functioning.
A high testosterone level in men can cause symptoms such as acne, aggressive behavior, and an increased risk of heart disease. In women, it may lead to male characteristics, such as a deeper voice or excessive body hair.
A low testosterone level in men can lead to reduced muscle mass, osteoporosis, decreased libido, and depression. In women, a low level may be associated with reduced fertility, menstrual irregularities, and fatigue.
This test is included in Dutch healthcare guidelines and is regularly used for its respective indications.
Rationale for this test
Testosteron is een standaard-bepaling in Nederlandse zorgrichtlijnen voor diverse aandoeningen, waaronder PCOS bij vrouwen, primaire amenorroe, en monitoring van hormoontherapie bij prostaatcarcinoom. De klinische betekenis is goed onderbouwd binnen de reguliere geneeskunde.

Answers to what people usually want to know.
After ordering we generate a referral letter and email you the instructions. You pick a collection point yourself and book an appointment there. Blood is drawn at the location, processed at the lab, and your result arrives digitally.
Often within a few working days. How soon you can be seen depends on how busy the location is and the type of analysis. For specialist analyses we first ship collection materials, which takes a bit longer.
At most collection points yes. Some accept walk-ins. This is clearly indicated per location. You choose the location that works best for you.
That depends on the test. Whether fasting is required, and from what time, is clearly stated in the instructions you receive after ordering. No surprises at the counter.
It varies per analysis: from same-day to a few working days. Standard values often come back quickly; analyses that go to an external lab can take a bit longer. You get an email with a link to your digital result, including a short explanation per value.
We work with 1,000+ collection points across the Netherlands. After ordering you'll see which locations near you are available and you pick where you'd like to go.

“Klantenservice was erg behulpzaam in…”
Klantenservice was erg behulpzaam in het beantwoorden van mijn vragen. Ik had ook een extra setje buizen nodig als back-up en dat was geen probleem. Ik had een groot test panel besteld, maar de resultaten waren binnen 1 week binnen. Rapport zag er netjes uit.
“Snelle en goede service”
Je hebt de spullen snel in huis en het is duidelijk wat je daarna moet doen. Ook de uitslag heb je snel in huis, ik dezelfde avond al de eerste uitslagen. Bij een bepaling ging het fout, niet eens door het bedrijf maar door het bloedafname punt en die bepaling kreeg ik gewoon vergoed, ook het geld terug stond erg snel op mijn rekening. Vragen worden ook snel beantwoord dus al met al een positieve ervaring bij Bloedcheckup.nl
“Fijn bedrijf met geweldig veel opties…”
Fijn bedrijf met geweldig veel opties om zelfstandig je gezondheid in het oog te houden, als sporter een must want de dokters hebben toch geen verstand van wat relevant en anders is voor sport. Ook zeer tevreden over Stijn zelf! Aangename kerel en goed bereikbaar voor vragen en hulp tijdens bestellen :D

“Amazing service!”
Received a packet with everything needed, went to a walk in clinic (Amsterdam DC Clinic) where my blood was drawn and I was out the door within 5 minutes, and then after posting the samples, received results 2 days later. Results were easy to understand as well. Amazing service, would highly recommend!
