Standard Male Hormone Panel

A standard male hormone panel is a blood test that measures levels of various hormones in the body that play a key role in male reproductive health and overall well-being. This panel typically includes tests for testosterone, luteinizing hormone (LH), follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH), and estradiol.

Testosterone is the primary male sex hormone and is responsible for the development of male reproductive organs, muscle mass, bone density, and libido. Low testosterone levels can lead to symptoms such as fatigue, decreased libido, and erectile dysfunction.

LH and FSH are hormones produced by the pituitary gland that help regulate testosterone production in the testes. Abnormal levels of these hormones can indicate hormonal imbalances that may affect fertility and overall health.

Estradiol is a form of estrogen that is important for male reproductive health. Elevated levels of estradiol in men can affect libido, cardiovascular health, and bone density.

A standard male hormone panel can help diagnose conditions such as hypogonadism (low testosterone), infertility, and other hormonal imbalances. It can also help monitor treatment for these conditions.

If you are experiencing symptoms such as fatigue, low libido, erectile dysfunction, or infertility, a standard male hormone panel may be recommended by your healthcare provider to evaluate your hormone levels and identify any underlying hormonal imbalances.
