The Standard Male Hormone Test Panel measures eleven markers related to hormone levels and general blood work in men. It expands on a basic panel with additional hormone and thyroid markers to give a broader view of factors associated with aging in men. It is used when symptoms such as low energy, mood changes, or reduced libido are being evaluated, or when a provider wants a more detailed hormone assessment. Each marker is reported separately, and results are interpreted with your symptoms and history.

• Men with low energy, mood changes, or reduced libido being evaluated.
• Individuals whose provider suspects a hormone or thyroid imbalance.
• Men wanting a more detailed hormone assessment than a basic panel.
• People being monitored for a known hormone or thyroid condition.
• Anyone whose provider has recommended a standard male hormone workup.

• Total Testosterone Measures the overall level of testosterone in the blood.
• Free Testosterone Measures the unbound portion of testosterone that is available to tissues.
• Estradiol (Sensitive) Measures estradiol, a form of estrogen, using a sensitive assay.
• Luteinizing Hormone (LH) Measures a pituitary hormone that signals testosterone production.
• Follicle-Stimulating Hormone (FSH) Measures a pituitary hormone involved in reproductive function.
• Sex Hormone Binding Globulin (SHBG) Measures the protein that binds testosterone and affects free levels.
• Prolactin Measures a pituitary hormone that can influence reproductive function.
• PSA (Total) Measures prostate-specific antigen, a marker related to prostate health.
• Thyroid Stimulating Hormone (TSH) Measures a pituitary hormone that regulates thyroid activity.
• DHEA-Sulfate Measures an adrenal hormone that contributes to sex hormone production.
• Free T4 Measures the unbound form of thyroxine, a thyroid hormone.

• Your provider may recommend a morning collection because hormone levels can vary through the day.
• No fasting is required unless your provider gives other instructions.
• Tell your provider about any hormone medications or supplements you take.
• Avoid strenuous exercise and alcohol right before collection if your provider advises.

The report lists a separate value for each of the eleven markers. Patterns in testosterone, LH, FSH, and SHBG can help a provider understand hormone signaling, while estradiol, prolactin, PSA, DHEA-Sulfate, TSH, and Free T4 add broader context. Individual values are not diagnostic on their own, because hormone levels vary with age, time of day, and medications. A healthcare provider will interpret the panel as a whole with your symptoms. Discuss any abnormal or unexpected result with a healthcare provider before making changes.
