Hormone Imbalance Check (male) by i-Screen

Comprehensive hormone blood test analyzing key hormones and androgens impacting masculinity and fertility.

Additional Information

This hormone blood test measures levels of key hormones and androgens that play an important role in governing masculinity and fertility. It provides insights into your hormonal balance, which is crucial for overall health and wellbeing. Specific benefits include understanding potential impacts on bone and muscle strength, mood, energy, sexual function, and fertility. The test measures several key biomarkers related to male reproductive health and overall hormonal balance. Contact us if you need a sensitive oestradiol assay.

Biomarkers Tested (15)

Testosterone (ng/dL)

Testosterone is crucial for male sexual development and function, also present in lower amounts in females. Abnormal levels can indicate reproductive or endocrine disorders.

Free Testosterone (pg/mL)

Free Testosterone measures the amount of testosterone not bound to proteins, thus available to cells, and is crucial for reproductive health.

Sex Hormone Binding Globulin (SHBG) (nmol/L)

Protein binding testosterone and oestradiol; changes affect hormone availability.

Oestradiol (E2) (pg/mL)

Impacts acne, constipation, libido, depression, weight, PMS, period pain, and thyroid function. Low levels are seen in menopause, causing mood swings, vaginal dryness, hot flashes, night sweats, and osteoporosis.

Follicle-Stimulating Hormone (FSH) (mIU/mL)

Stimulates egg maturation; high levels indicate poor ovarian reserves.

Luteinizing Hormone (LH) (mIU/mL)

Governs the menstrual cycle, peaking before ovulation. High levels can signal lack of ovulation, menopause, or hormonal imbalance. A high LH/FSH ratio can indicate PCOS.

Progesterone (P4) (ng/mL)

Crucial for the menstrual cycle, combats PMS and period pain, aids fertility, and promotes sleep.

Prolactin (ng/mL)

Prolactin stimulates milk production in women and affects reproductive health. Abnormal levels can indicate pituitary disorders.

Fasting Insulin (µU/mL)

A hormone produced by the pancreas that helps to control blood glucose levels and plays a role in controlling the levels of carbohydrates and fats stored in the body.

Thyroid-stimulating hormone (TSH) (mIU/L)

Communicates with the thyroid gland to produce T3 and T4, regulating metabolic functions. High levels indicate hypothyroidism, low levels hyperthyroidism.

Free thyroxine (FT4) (pmol/L)

Measures freely circulating thyroxine regulating metabolism. High levels indicate hyperthyroidism, low levels hypothyroidism.

Free triiodothyronine (FT3) (pmol/L)

Measures freely circulating triiodothyronine. High levels indicate hyperthyroidism, low levels hypothyroidism.

Cortisol (µg/dL)

Cortisol is a hormone released in response to stress and low blood glucose. Abnormal levels can indicate adrenal issues.

Dehydroepiandrosterone sulfate (DHEA-S) (µg/dL)

A long-acting adrenal hormone regulating energy production, the immune system, brain chemistry, bone formation, muscle tone, and libido. It's converted into testosterone and other sex hormones.

IGF-1 (Insulin-like Growth Factor 1) (ng/mL)

IGF-1 is a hormone involved in growth and development, and it's regulated by growth hormone. High levels can indicate growth disorders.
