About this Package:
The Male Hormone Screening Panel is a comprehensive set of 6 key tests designed to evaluate a man's hormonal health. It goes beyond a simple testosterone test to investigate the complete picture of androgen production, availability, and metabolic function, providing crucial insights for issues like fatigue, low libido, infertility, and changes in body composition.
✔ A complete laboratory workup for male hormonal imbalance.
✔ Assesses not just Total Testosterone but also the active Free Testosterone.
✔ Includes key hormones like DHT, HGH, and Androstenedione for a deeper analysis.
✔ Essential for men experiencing symptoms of low T or infertility.

Tests Included in This Panel (6 Tests)
This panel provides a detailed view of your endocrine system by measuring these 6 key markers from a single blood sample:
- Testosterone (Total):
Measures the total amount of testosterone in the blood. This is the primary male sex hormone and is the baseline for assessing hypogonadism. - Free Testosterone:
Measures the active or usable testosterone that is not bound to proteins. This is a more accurate marker of your body's functional testosterone level. - Sex Hormone Binding Globulin (SHBG):
Measures the main protein that binds to testosterone. A high SHBG can lead to low free testosterone, even if your total T is normal. This test is essential for interpreting free vs. total levels. - Androstenedione (A4):
A precursor hormone produced in the adrenal glands and testes that can be converted into both testosterone and estrogen. Its level provides insight into the body's raw materials for hormone production. - Dihydrotestosterone (DHT):
A potent androgen converted from testosterone. It is critical for male development and is the primary hormone linked to male pattern baldness, acne, and prostate enlargement. - Human Growth Hormone (HGH):
A vital hormone for metabolism, muscle maintenance, cell repair, and vitality. Low levels can be associated with fatigue, increased body fat, and reduced muscle mass.
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
Q1: Why do I need this full panel? Isn't a simple testosterone test enough?
A simple Total Testosterone test can be misleading. Your symptoms might be caused by low "Free" Testosterone, even if your "Total" is normal. This panel, from a specialized diagnostic center, checks Free T, the binding protein (SHBG), and other key hormones (DHT, HGH) to find the root cause of your symptoms.

Q2: Who should take this Male Hormone Screening Panel?
This panel is ideal for men experiencing persistent symptoms such as chronic fatigue, low libido, erectile dysfunction, difficulty building muscle, unexplained weight gain (especially belly fat), mood changes, or infertility.

Q3: Why is a fasting, morning sample required?
This is critical for accuracy. Testosterone and HGH levels are naturally highest in the morning and can be affected by food. A fasting morning sample provides the most reliable and accurate baseline for diagnosis.

Q4: What is the difference between Free and Total Testosterone?
Total Testosterone is all the testosterone in your blood. Most of it is bound to a protein (SHBG) and is inactive. Free Testosterone is the small percentage (1-2%) that is unbound and active it's the hormone that can actually be used by your body's cells.
