How to Test Testosterone at Home
Your Complete Guide to At-Home Testosterone Testing for Men and Women
Testosterone is a vital hormone that plays a key role in energy, mood, weight regulation, muscle tone, and sexual function—for both men and women. But when levels drop, symptoms often appear without clear cause.
The good news? At-home testosterone testing is now easier and more accessible than ever. And with Qualiphy’s at-home lab kits launching soon, patients across the country will be able to assess and treat hormone imbalances—without stepping foot in a clinic.
In this guide, we’ll walk through:
- How to test testosterone at home
- Symptoms of low testosterone in men
- Symptoms of low testosterone in women
- How you can treat low testosterone
At-home testosterone testing involves collecting a sample—typically saliva or blood from a finger prick—and sending it to a CLIA-certified lab for analysis. Results are returned within days and can be reviewed virtually with a qualified healthcare provider.
Qualiphy is currently building this service into our telehealth platform—so your practice can offer it to patients fully branded under your name, with no added admin time, staff, or overhead.

Symptoms of Low Testosterone in Men
Low testosterone can affect men as early as their late 20s. Common symptoms include:
- Constant fatigue or “afternoon crash”
- Low sex drive or erectile dysfunction
- Loss of muscle mass
- Increase in body fat, especially around the abdomen
- Depression or irritability
- Trouble concentrating or memory issues
- Poor sleep quality
- Hair loss
If your male patients are experiencing these issues, they may benefit from at-home lab kits to check their testosterone levels.
Symptoms of Low Testosterone in Women
Though women produce less testosterone than men, it’s still crucial for:
- Energy
- Sexual health
- Bone strength
- Cognitive function
- Body composition
Symptoms of low testosterone in women include:
- Chronic fatigue
- Decreased libido
- Weight gain or stubborn fat
- Mood swings or anxiety
- Brain fog or poor focus
- Muscle weakness or poor tone
- Irregular periods
- Hair thinning
These signs are often mistaken for aging, but at-home testosterone testing gives women a discreet and accurate way to gain clarity.
