The Standard Male Hormone Test Panel is a blood test that measures several hormones involved in male reproductive health and general well-being. It is often ordered to evaluate symptoms such as low energy, reduced sex drive, or fertility concerns.
What it measures
- Total Testosterone — The main male sex hormone, important for muscle, mood, and sex drive.
- Free Testosterone — The portion of testosterone not bound to proteins, which is active in the body.
- Luteinizing Hormone (LH) — A hormone from the pituitary gland that signals the testes to make testosterone.
- Follicle-Stimulating Hormone (FSH) — A hormone that helps control sperm production.
- Estradiol — A form of estrogen that men also produce in small amounts.
Who it is for
A clinician may order this panel for men who have symptoms of hormone imbalance, such as fatigue, low libido, erectile problems, or infertility. It is also used to monitor hormone levels during certain treatments.
Preparation
Fasting is not usually required, but your clinician may ask you to have the blood drawn in the morning when hormone levels are highest. Tell your provider about any medications or supplements you take, as some can affect results.

Results are reported as numbers with reference ranges, which show typical values. Your clinician will interpret your results in the context of your symptoms, age, and health history.
