This comprehensive testing package is designed to empower individuals with knowledge about their hormonal status, enabling informed decisions for proactive health management. Whether for preventive care or addressing specific concerns related to andropause,
It provides a holistic overview of male hormonal health, aiding in the early detection of imbalances and potential symptoms associated with andropause.
Package Includes the following tests:
Dehydroepiandrosterone Sulphate , Follicle-Stimulating Hormone, Testosterone, Sex Hormone Binding Globulin (SHBG), Free Androgen Index (FAI),
Luteinising Hormone (LH)
-
Dehydroepiandrosterone Sulphate (DHEA-S): This test measures the levels of DHEA-S, a precursor to both testosterone and estrogen. DHEA-S is vital for maintaining hormonal balance and has implications for energy, mood, and overall vitality.
-
Follicle-Stimulating Hormone (FSH): FSH is a key hormone that regulates reproductive processes. Elevated FSH levels may indicate changes in the testes and can provide insights into the overall health of the male reproductive system.
-
Testosterone: The measurement of testosterone levels is fundamental in assessing male hormonal health. Testosterone influences muscle mass, bone density, libido, and overall vitality. Monitoring testosterone levels is crucial for understanding and addressing symptoms associated with andropause.
-
Sex Hormone Binding Globulin (SHBG): SHBG is a protein that binds to sex hormones, including testosterone. This test evaluates the levels of SHBG, providing insights into how much testosterone is bound and how much is freely available for the body to use.
-
Free Androgen Index (FAI): The Free Androgen Index is calculated by comparing the ratio of testosterone to SHBG. This index offers a more accurate assessment of bioavailable testosterone, helping to understand the active hormonal status in the body.
-
Luteinising Hormone (LH): LH plays a crucial role in regulating testosterone production. Elevated levels of LH may indicate the body's attempt to stimulate testosterone release, offering valuable information about the functioning of the testes.
