Hormone Check for Men

Hormones regulate numerous body functions – from energy and muscle building to libido and mental performance. An imbalanced hormone level can negatively affect your well-being but often goes unnoticed. With the Hormone Check for Men , you gain a comprehensive insight into your hormone levels and can take targeted actions.

The test measures the following values:

• Testosterone: The most important male sex hormone, responsible for muscle building, libido, and energy levels. Low levels can lead to fatigue, weight gain, and lack of drive.
• SHBG (Sex hormone-binding globulin): Regulates the amount of available testosterone. A high SHBG level can result in less free testosterone being available for biological processes.
• LH (Luteinizing Hormone): Stimulates testosterone production in the testes. A low level may indicate insufficient hormone production.
• Prolactin: Plays a role in the regulation of sexual function and libido. Elevated levels can negatively affect potency and testosterone levels.
• TSH (Thyroid-Stimulating Hormone): Controls thyroid function, which in turn affects metabolism and energy production. Disorders can lead to fatigue, weight gain, or nervousness.

Why is this test important?

A balanced hormone level is crucial for physical performance, mental strength, and overall well-being. Even slight deviations in hormone levels can negatively impact energy levels, muscle development, and sexual function.An early check helps to identify and specifically counteract hormonal imbalances.

How does the test work?

The procedure is simple: Use the provided test kit to take a small blood sample from your fingertip and send it to our certified specialist laboratory. Within a few days, you will receive a detailed report with understandable explanations of your hormone levels.

Testosterone

Testosterone is an important biomarker, primarily produced in the testes in men and to a lesser extent in the ovaries in women. It plays a crucial role in the development of male sexual characteristics and the regulation of muscle mass, bone mass, and fat distribution. An imbalance of testosterone can lead to various health issues, such as sexual dysfunction, infertility, and osteoporosis. Therefore, measuring testosterone levels is an important part of medical diagnostics.

Sex hormone-binding globulin (SHBG)

SHBG is a protein that binds and regulates sex hormones like testosterone and estrogen in the blood, determining how much of these hormones are available in the body. An abnormal SHBG level can indicate hormonal imbalances or liver diseases.

Lutropin (LH)

Lutropin, also known as Luteinizing Hormone (LH), plays a central role in regulating the reproductive system. In women, it promotes ovulation and hormone production in the ovaries, while in men, it stimulates testosterone production in the testes.

Prolactin

Prolactin is a hormone produced in the pituitary gland and plays an important role in milk production after birth. Abnormal prolactin levels can indicate hormonal disorders, pituitary tumors, or thyroid problems.

TSH (sensitive)

The biomarker TSH (sensitive) is an important indicator of thyroid function. An elevated TSH level may indicate hypothyroidism, while a low level may suggest hyperthyroidism. Therefore, the precise determination of the TSH level is crucial for the diagnosis and treatment of thyroid diseases.

What is examined in the hormone check for men?

The test measures important male hormone levels: Testosterone, SHBG, LH, Prolactin and TSH, to provide a comprehensive insight into your hormonal balance.

Who is this test suitable for?

The test is ideal for men who want to check their performance, muscle mass, libido, or energy or are experiencing symptoms of a hormonal imbalance.

How does the sample collection work?

The sample collection is simple and painless via capillary blood from the fingertip. You will receive a test kit with clear instructions for easy home use.

How long does it take to receive my results?

After sending in the sample, you will typically receive your lab results digitally within 3–5 business days.

What does the testosterone level say about my health?

Testosterone is the most important male sex hormone. It influences muscle building, energy levels, and libido. A low level can lead to fatigue, weight gain, and lack of drive.

Why is SHBG measured?

Sex hormone-binding globulin (SHBG) affects the availability of testosterone in the body. A high SHBG level can result in less free testosterone being available for biological processes.

What role do LH and prolactin play?

Luteinizing hormone (LH) stimulates testosterone production in the testes. Prolactin is responsible for many processes in the body – an elevated level can negatively affect libido and testosterone levels.

What happens if my values are outside the reference range?

If abnormalities are detected, you should discuss the results with a doctor. They can recommend further examinations or targeted measures.
