The Male Hormone Testing (basic) panel is a blood test that measures nine markers related to hormone levels and general blood work in men. It gives a broad look at testosterone, related hormones, and a few metabolic and prostate markers that can be relevant to age-related changes in men. The panel is often used when symptoms such as low energy, mood changes, or reduced libido are being evaluated. Each marker is reported separately, and results are interpreted by a healthcare provider with your symptoms and history.

• Men with low energy, mood changes, or reduced libido being evaluated.
• Individuals whose provider suspects a hormone imbalance.
• Men experiencing changes associated with aging who want a baseline assessment.
• People being monitored for a known hormone or thyroid condition.
• Anyone whose provider has recommended a basic 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.

• 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 nine markers. Low or high results in testosterone, LH, FSH, or SHBG may point toward different hormone patterns, while estradiol, prolactin, PSA, and TSH add 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.
