Hormon Check-Up für den Mann

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.

Male hormonal health extends well beyond a single testosterone number. This panel maps the entire reproductive hormone axis — from the pituitary signals (FSH, LH, prolactin) that regulate testicular function to the downstream androgens (testosterone, DHEAS) and their binding protein (SHBG) that determine how much hormone is biologically active. The free androgen index calculated from testosterone and SHBG provides the most clinically relevant measure of androgenic status. Estradiol (17-beta-estradiol) is included because men produce meaningful amounts of oestrogen through aromatisation of testosterone, and the testosterone-to-oestrogen ratio influences body composition, mood, and bone density. Elevated oestrogen relative to testosterone may be associated with increased body fat, particularly in the chest and abdominal areas. DHEAS — produced by the adrenal glands — serves as a precursor to both testosterone and oestrogen, and its levels decline progressively with age. TSH screens for thyroid dysfunction, which can mimic or exacerbate symptoms of testosterone deficiency including fatigue, weight gain, and cognitive sluggishness. This panel is designed for men experiencing low energy, changes in body composition, mood variability, or reduced physical performance who want a data-driven starting point. Morning draws are recommended for the most accurate testosterone and cortisol-related values.
