The Male Hormone Evaluation Panel is a targeted laboratory test designed to provide a snapshot of key hormonal levels in men. This panel is commonly used to help evaluate symptoms related to hormonal imbalance, such as low energy, decreased libido, changes in mood, or other concerns related to andropause and general wellness.

What This Panel Measures

This blood test analyzes four critical hormones that play a central role in male reproductive and overall health:

• Testosterone, Total: Measures the overall amount of testosterone in the blood, both bound and free.
• Testosterone, Free: Measures the fraction of testosterone that is biologically active and not bound to proteins.
• Follicle-Stimulating Hormone (FSH): A pituitary hormone that, in men, stimulates sperm production.
• Luteinizing Hormone (LH): A pituitary hormone that signals the testes to produce testosterone.
• Estradiol: The primary form of estrogen in men, important for bone health, libido, and other functions.

Who Is This Test For?

This panel may be appropriate for men experiencing:

• Unexplained fatigue or low energy
• Decreased sex drive (libido)
• Erectile dysfunction
• Mood changes, irritability, or depression
• Loss of muscle mass or increased body fat
• Difficulty concentrating or "brain fog"
