Male hormones influence sexual function, fertility, muscle and bone health, energy and many other aspects of wellbeing. This panel provides a broader picture of your hormone profile than measuring testosterone alone.

It may be useful if you want to understand your hormone levels in the context of symptoms such as reduced libido, changes in sexual function, changes in energy or body composition, fertility concerns, or simply want a baseline against which future results can be compared.

Hormone levels can be affected by age, weight, sleep, illness, exercise, medicines and other factors. Testosterone also naturally changes through the day and is generally highest in the morning.

For the most useful assessment of testosterone, we recommend having your sample collected in the morning, ideally between 7 am and 11 am.

A hormone profile can identify levels outside the expected reference range and provide valuable information for further investigation. A single low testosterone result, however, does not by itself establish testosterone deficiency. If your testosterone is low, repeat morning testing and clinical assessment may be appropriate before drawing conclusions about the cause or considering treatment.

PSA is tested because it helps identify prostate disease early, especially prostate cancer, prostatitis, and benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH). It’s one of the few blood markers that can flag prostate problems before symptoms appear. If you have any personal concerns about PSA or prostate health, it’s important to speak with a qualified healthcare professional who can provide guidance based on your individual situation.
