Hormone Testing in Germany

A single-biomarker cortisol measurement via venous blood draw, designed to assess adrenal function and stress hormone output. Cortisol follows a diurnal rhythm with peak levels in the early morning, so timing of the draw is relevant to interpretation. Results are delivered within one to three business days through the Becker Care online portal.

A two-biomarker hormone panel measuring total testosterone and sex hormone-binding globulin (SHBG) from a venous blood draw. Together these markers allow calculation of free testosterone — the biologically active fraction — providing a more complete picture of androgenic status than total testosterone alone.

A complete thyroid function panel measuring TSH, free T3, and free T4. While TSH alone is widely used as a screening marker, adding free T3 and free T4 reveals subclinical dysfunction and conversion issues that single-marker testing misses. Relevant for investigating fatigue, unexplained weight changes, hair thinning, or mood disturbances with a potential thyroid component.

A targeted female hormone panel measuring oestradiol (E2), progesterone, LH (luteinising hormone), FSH (follicle-stimulating hormone), prolactin, and DHEA-S. This combination evaluates ovarian function, menstrual cycle regularity, menopausal status, and adrenal androgen output. The panel is timed to cycle day 3 to 5 for premenopausal women to capture baseline follicular phase values.

A six-biomarker panel investigating the hormonal and nutritional factors most commonly associated with hair thinning and hair loss in women. The panel covers iron stores, thyroid function, and androgenic markers including free androgen index, SHBG, and testosterone alongside a complete blood count.

A targeted male endocrine panel measuring 6 key hormones: total testosterone, FSH, LH, SHBG, prolactin, and TSH. Captures both testosterone production and regulatory signalling alongside thyroid screening, since thyroid dysfunction produces symptoms that closely mimic low testosterone including fatigue and reduced libido.

An extended hormone panel covering reproductive, thyroid, and metabolic axes. Includes all markers from the female hormone profile plus testosterone, SHBG (sex hormone-binding globulin), cortisol, insulin, TSH, fT3, and fT4. This comprehensive assessment reveals how hormonal systems interact — thyroid function affects sex hormone metabolism, cortisol influences insulin sensitivity, and SHBG modulates bioavailable testosterone and oestrogen.

A nine-biomarker male hormone panel covering the full hypothalamic-pituitary-gonadal axis alongside adrenal and thyroid markers. Measures prolactin, FSH, LH, estradiol, testosterone, DHEAS, SHBG, free androgen index, and TSH to provide a comprehensive picture of male endocrine function.

A dedicated perimenopause and menopause assessment with 10 hormones: estradiol, progesterone, FSH, LH, TSH, testosterone, DHEA-S, prolactin, free T3, and free T4. Integrates reproductive hormones with full thyroid function testing, since thyroid disorders are prevalent around menopause and amplify menopausal symptoms in ways that require distinct treatment approaches.

A nineteen-biomarker hormone panel designed for women over 40, covering the full reproductive axis alongside thyroid, adrenal, and metabolic markers relevant to perimenopause and menopause. Provides a detailed hormonal snapshot to help contextualise symptoms that commonly emerge during this transitional period.

A twelve-biomarker female hormone panel covering the full reproductive axis, thyroid function, adrenal output, and androgenic markers. Measures TSH, prolactin, estradiol, progesterone, AMH, DHEAS, FSH, LH, testosterone, SHBG, cortisol, and free androgen index for a comprehensive overview of female endocrine function.

A comprehensive female endocrine assessment measuring 10 hormones: estradiol, progesterone, FSH, LH, testosterone, DHEA-S, AMH, prolactin, SHBG, and cortisol. AMH (anti-Müllerian hormone) provides a cycle-independent assessment of ovarian reserve, making this panel valuable for fertility planning. The combination of reproductive, adrenal, and stress-response hormones enables investigation of menstrual irregularities, PCOS symptoms, and overall hormonal balance.
