Andrology Panel Test: Comprehensive Male Hormone Assessment
Understanding the Andrology Panel Test
The Andrology Panel Test represents a sophisticated diagnostic approach to evaluating male reproductive health and hormonal function. This comprehensive assessment provides crucial insights into the endocrine system’s role in male fertility, sexual health, and overall wellness. By measuring key hormones that regulate reproductive processes, this panel helps identify underlying hormonal imbalances that may affect everything from sperm production to sexual function and energy levels.
What the Andrology Panel Measures
Our advanced Andrology Panel Test evaluates three critical hormonal components that are essential for optimal male reproductive health:
Follicle-Stimulating Hormone (FSH)
FSH plays a vital role in sperm production (spermatogenesis) within the testes. This hormone stimulates the Sertoli cells to support the development and maturation of sperm cells. Abnormal FSH levels can indicate issues with testicular function or problems in the hypothalamic-pituitary-gonadal axis.
Luteinizing Hormone (LH)
LH is responsible for stimulating testosterone production by the Leydig cells in the testes. This hormone is crucial for maintaining adequate testosterone levels, which influence libido, muscle mass, bone density, and overall male characteristics.
Testosterone Levels
The panel measures both Total Testosterone and Free Testosterone:
- Total Testosterone: Measures the overall amount of testosterone in the bloodstream, including both bound and unbound forms
- Free Testosterone: Assesses the biologically active, unbound testosterone that is readily available to tissues
Who Should Consider This Test?
The Andrology Panel Test is recommended for men experiencing various symptoms related to hormonal imbalances or reproductive health concerns:
Primary Indicators Include:
- Couples experiencing infertility or difficulty conceiving
- Men with decreased libido or sexual desire
- Individuals experiencing erectile dysfunction
- Those with symptoms of low testosterone (fatigue, reduced muscle mass, mood changes)
- Men with abnormal semen analysis results
- Individuals with testicular pain or swelling
- Patients with delayed puberty or underdeveloped secondary sexual characteristics
- Men undergoing fertility treatment evaluation

Understanding Your Test Results
Interpreting your Andrology Panel results requires professional medical expertise, but here’s a general overview of what your numbers might indicate:
Normal Hormonal Patterns
Typically, balanced levels of FSH, LH, and testosterone suggest normal hypothalamic-pituitary-gonadal axis function. This indicates that your body is producing adequate hormones for optimal reproductive health.
Potential Abnormal Findings
- Elevated FSH/LH with Low Testosterone: May indicate primary testicular failure
- Low FSH/LH with Low Testosterone: Could suggest hypothalamic or pituitary issues
- Isolated Testosterone Deficiency: May point to specific testicular or metabolic concerns
- Elevated Testosterone: Could indicate certain tumors or hormonal disorders
Next Steps After Testing
Your healthcare provider will discuss your specific results in detail and recommend appropriate follow-up actions, which may include additional testing, lifestyle modifications, or targeted treatments based on your individual hormonal profile.
