Male Hormone Check by i-Screen

A comprehensive analysis of the hormones that govern masculinity and fertility.

Additional Information

It’s not always obvious what could be causing symptoms such as a lack of energy, mood swings or low sex drive. We often put these issues down to diet, lack of sleep or stress but there could be other underlying issues. This comprehensive panel of hormone tests can be used to identify a hormonal imbalance, provide insight into the onset of andropause (male menopause), or investigate conditions that can lead to male infertility. This hormone test can be combined with a Semen Check to provide a comprehensive picture of male fertility.

Biomarkers Tested (11)

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 (pmol/L)

In men, essential for maintaining bone health, regulating cholesterol levels, and supporting healthy brain function.

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 (ng/mL)

Progesterone is a hormone that regulates the menstrual cycle and supports pregnancy. Abnormal levels can indicate reproductive issues.

Prolactin (ng/mL)

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

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.
