Men's HealthAbout this service
A testosterone test is a blood test done at Eastgate Clinic in Windhoek that measures testosterone levels, often requested when someone is experiencing symptoms such as low libido, ongoing fatigue, or fertility concerns. Testosterone plays a role in energy, mood, and reproductive health, and a blood test gives your doctor objective information to work out whether hormone levels are contributing to what you are experiencing.
A small blood sample is taken in our rooms, with your doctor discussing the result alongside your symptoms and history, and advising on any further testing or treatment options that may help.
