Male Hormone Panel

The Male Hormone Panel is a comprehensive test that measures key hormones affecting men’s health, such as testosterone, cortisol, and estradiol. It helps assess your hormonal balance, which can impact energy, libido, mood, and overall well-being.

Any man experiencing symptoms like low energy, decreased libido, mood swings, weight gain, or difficulty building muscle should consider getting a hormone panel. It’s also beneficial for those looking to optimize health and performance, particularly as they age.

The Male Hormone Panel typically includes:

- Testosterone: Regulates sex drive, muscle mass, and bone density.

- Free Testosterone: The active form of testosterone that impacts energy and mood.

- Estradiol: A form of estrogen that affects weight management, heart health, and libido.

- DHEA-S: A precursor to testosterone and estrogen, crucial for energy and stress response.

- Cortisol: Known as the "stress hormone," it influences energy levels and weight gain.

- Sex Hormone Binding Globulin (SHBG): A protein that binds to testosterone, influencing its availability in the body.

- Prolactin: Plays a role in sexual satisfaction and may indicate pituitary issues if elevated.

- Prostate-Specific Antigen (PSA): produced by the prostate gland, and elevated levels can indicate issues with the prostate

Signs of a potential hormone imbalance include:

- Fatigue or lack of energy

- Low libido or erectile issues

- Irritability or mood swings

- Difficulty gaining muscle or unexplained muscle loss

- Increased body fat or weight gain

- Sleep issues or insomnia
