Infertility Profile – Male
Hormonal Blood Test to Assess Male Fertility and Reproductive Health
The Infertility Profile – Male is a targeted blood test designed to evaluate key hormones that play a critical role in male fertility. By identifying potential hormonal imbalances, this test provides valuable insights into issues that may be affecting sperm production, testosterone levels, and overall reproductive health.
Why Take This Test?
This profile is recommended for men who are:
Struggling with fertility or conception issues
Experiencing symptoms like low libido, erectile dysfunction, or low energy
Undergoing fertility treatments or evaluations
Looking to proactively assess and manage reproductive health
What’s Measured?
The test analyses several key hormones related to male fertility:
Luteinizing Hormone (LH): Stimulates testosterone production in the testes; abnormal levels may indicate testicular dysfunction
Follicle-Stimulating Hormone (FSH): Crucial for healthy sperm production; imbalances can impact sperm count and quality
Prolactin (PRL): Elevated levels can interfere with testosterone and sperm production
Sex Hormone Binding Globulin (SHBG): Regulates the availability of testosterone in the body
Testosterone: The primary male sex hormone; essential for sperm development and sexual function
Who Should Consider This Test?
This test is ideal for:
Men facing difficulty conceiving with a partner
Individuals with symptoms of hormonal imbalance (e.g. low sex drive, fatigue, or mood changes)
