Men's Hormone Test Panel — Expanded

Your hormones influence far more than your reproductive health—they affect your energy, strength, metabolism, mood, mental clarity, heart health, and overall quality of life. The ICare Men's Hormone Test Panel — Expanded provides a comprehensive evaluation of the key hormones that work together to support your physical performance, sexual health, and long-term wellness.

Hormone imbalances can develop gradually and often go unnoticed, with symptoms that may be mistaken for stress, aging, or lifestyle changes. This advanced panel offers a deeper understanding of your hormone health, helping you and your healthcare provider identify imbalances and develop a personalized plan to optimize your well-being.

Whether you're experiencing symptoms of low testosterone, monitoring hormone replacement therapy, evaluating fertility, or simply investing in preventive healthcare, this expanded panel provides the comprehensive insights you need.

With ICare's concierge mobile laboratory services, advanced hormone testing has never been more convenient.

What Does This Test Measure?

The Expanded Men's Hormone Test Panel evaluates several important hormones that work together to regulate your health.

Total Testosterone

Measures the total amount of testosterone circulating in your bloodstream.

Testosterone plays a vital role in:

Energy levels
Muscle growth and strength
Bone health
Libido
Sexual performance
Mood
Red blood cell production
Free Testosterone

Measures the testosterone that is immediately available for your body's tissues to use.

Even when total testosterone appears normal, low free testosterone may contribute to symptoms of hormone imbalance.

Sex Hormone-Binding Globulin (SHBG)

SHBG is a protein that binds to testosterone in the bloodstream.

Measuring SHBG helps determine how much testosterone is available for your body to use and provides a more complete assessment of hormone balance.

Estradiol (Estrogen)

Although estrogen is often associated with women, it is also an important hormone for men.

Healthy estradiol levels support:

Bone strength
Heart health
Libido
Hormonal balance

Abnormal levels may contribute to changes in mood, body composition, and sexual health.

Luteinizing Hormone (LH)

LH stimulates the testes to produce testosterone.

Abnormal LH levels may help identify whether hormone changes originate from the testes or the pituitary gland.

Follicle-Stimulating Hormone (FSH)

FSH plays an essential role in sperm production and fertility.

Testing FSH provides valuable information when evaluating reproductive health or fertility concerns.

Prolactin

Elevated prolactin levels may interfere with testosterone production and contribute to symptoms such as decreased libido, erectile dysfunction, infertility, or low testosterone.

Additional Hormone Markers

Depending on your healthcare provider's order, your expanded panel may also include additional hormones or wellness markers that provide a more complete assessment of your endocrine health and overall well-being.
