Men's Hormone Panel
A focused hormone panel for men evaluating several commonly assessed reproductive and sex hormones.
About this test
Several hormone measurements collected together. The current included tests determine what questions this panel can address.
Common reasons for testing
- Clinician-directed evaluation of hormone-related symptoms.
These are examples of clinical uses. Your history and symptoms determine whether testing is appropriate.
What to expect
The collection depends on the tests listed in this panel. Blood tests can usually be collected in one visit; urine or other specimens have separate instructions. Confirm the current included tests before booking.
Appointment length
Your visit is expected to take about 15 minutes at our West Ashley location.
Categories
What's included
- Estradiol
- Progesterone
- Testosterone, Total — Male
- FSH
Preparation
- Confirm morning and fasting instructions when evaluating testosterone deficiency.
- Ask how to time collection relative to prescribed hormone doses.
- Bring a list of medicines and supplements, including biotin, vitamins, and hormones. Do not stop or change prescribed medicines unless your clinician tells you to.
Instructions for this appointment
- Hormone levels can vary throughout the day, so a morning appointment is recommended.
Follow the instructions confirmed for your order. If they differ from the general guidance, contact the team before changing food, fluids, or medicines.
Order requirement
No outside order needed
Understanding your results
- A panel is not a complete fertility assessment. Low testosterone generally requires symptoms and repeat confirmation.
What happens next?
Review the report with your clinician alongside your symptoms, medical history, and earlier results. A value outside the reference range does not always mean disease, and a normal result does not explain every symptom. Confirm who will arrange any repeat or additional testing.
