Best practice for this test
Prepare for a result that can be interpreted properly.
The timing must match your prescribed testosterone preparation and monitoring plan.
For testosterone gel, testing is commonly performed 2 to 6 hours after application, but your prescriber's instruction takes priority.
Keep gel away from the blood-draw arm and wash your hands carefully after application to avoid sample contamination.
Follow the PSA preparation advice: avoid ejaculation, anal sex, cycling and vigorous exercise for 48 hours before collection.
Your safety comes first. Any later collection instructions sent by Beaches or Inuvi take priority. Do not stop prescribed medication or fast if it could be unsafe. Contact us first if you have diabetes, are pregnant, are prone to fainting or are unsure about medication.

A responsible service
Testing supports care. It does not replace it.
If you feel acutely unwell or have symptoms that need urgent assessment, seek appropriate medical care rather than waiting for a private blood test.
A result outside the reference range does not always mean illness, and a result inside it does not rule every problem out. Interpretation depends on symptoms, history and context.
