Male Hormone Profile Panel

The Male Hormone Profile at Pamel Laboratories is a comprehensive blood test panel that assesses key hormones responsible for male reproductive and general health. It is designed to evaluate fertility, sexual function, energy levels, muscle mass, mood, and overall endocrine balance in men.

This test is especially recommended for men experiencing symptoms such as low libido, erectile dysfunction, fatigue, infertility, or reduced physical performance.

What the Test Measures:

Depending on physician’s request, the panel may include:

• Testosterone (Total and Free) – Primary male sex hormone

• Follicle Stimulating Hormone (FSH) – Regulates sperm production

• Luteinizing Hormone (LH) – Stimulates testosterone production

• Prolactin – Affects sexual satisfaction and hormone regulation

• Estradiol (E2) – Assesses estrogen balance in men

• Sex Hormone Binding Globulin (SHBG) – Affects availability of testosterone

• DHEA-S – A precursor hormone for testosterone

Purpose of the Test:

• Investigate symptoms such as:

  • Low libido or erectile dysfunction

  • Infertility

  • Hair loss or reduced muscle mass

  • Fatigue, irritability, or depression

• Diagnose conditions like:

  • Hypogonadism (low testosterone)

  • Pituitary gland disorders

  • Hormone-related infertility

  • Male menopause (andropause)

• Monitor hormone therapy or testosterone replacement therapy (TRT)

Sample Type: Blood sample (serum)
Fasting Required: May be recommended (especially for testosterone)
Turnaround Time: 1–3 working days

Important Notes:

• Blood collection is ideally done in the morning when testosterone levels are highest

• Results should be interpreted in the context of age, medical history, and lifestyle factors

• May be combined with semen analysis for full fertility evaluation
