At a glance

A male hormone panel measures free and total testosterone together with the hormones that regulate it, LH, FSH, prolactin, SHBG, DHEA-S, DHT, and estradiol, from a single blood draw. It is designed for men with symptoms like low libido, fatigue, mood changes, or muscle weakness who want objective hormone numbers to review with a doctor. Panels start at a focused 5-test check, and every hormone can also be ordered as an individual test.

Best suited for

  • Men with low libido, fatigue, or mood changes who want a complete hormone picture rather than a single testosterone number
  • Men whose total testosterone came back "normal" but whose symptoms persist, SHBG and free testosterone add missing context
  • Anyone on physician-guided hormone therapy who wants to track levels between appointments
  • Men curious about pituitary and adrenal signals such as LH, FSH, prolactin, DHEA-S, and pregnenolone
  • Those establishing a hormone baseline now to compare against future results

Key biomarker ranges

Commonly used adult reference ranges for markers this panel measures, labs vary, so always interpret results against your lab's stated ranges and with your doctor.

Total Testosterone (ng/dL)

Adult male ranges shown; commonly used reference ranges run roughly 300–1,000 ng/dL, with morning draws the standard since levels peak early in the day.

Total Testosterone reference ranges (ng/dL)
ZoneRange
Low0300 ng/dL
Normal range3001000 ng/dL
High10001200 ng/dL
Estradiol (pg/mL)

Adult female follicular-phase ranges shown; estradiol varies widely across the cycle and drops after menopause, so cycle timing is essential to interpretation.

The importance of testing

A total testosterone number on its own rarely tells the whole story. SHBG determines how much of that testosterone is actually bioavailable, LH and FSH reveal whether the pituitary is sending the right signals, and prolactin, when elevated, is one of the markers most often associated with low testosterone and reduced sexual function in men. A panel that measures these together gives far more context than any single test.

The adrenal and precursor hormones round out the picture. DHEA-S and pregnenolone are upstream building blocks for testosterone and other steroid hormones, DHT is the potent androgen derived from testosterone that influences hair and prostate health, and estradiol matters for men too, it is routinely measured to assess hormone balance, bone health, and endocrine function. IGF-1 adds a window into growth-hormone activity and metabolism.

Because hormone levels shift with age, sleep, training, body composition, and physician-guided therapy, these panels are built for repeat use. Establishing a baseline and retesting over time shows which direction your numbers are trending, and gives you and your doctor something concrete to discuss, flag anything out of range for that conversation rather than interpreting results in isolation.

Frequently asked questions

What does a male hormone panel include?

A male hormone panel measures free and total testosterone along with regulating and related hormones, LH, FSH, prolactin, SHBG, DHEA-S, DHT, estradiol, and in some panels pregnenolone and IGF-1. The entry panel covers 5 tests and 9 biomarkers in one blood draw, and each hormone is also available as a standalone test.

Why test more than just testosterone?

Because a total testosterone number alone can be misleading, SHBG determines how much testosterone is bioavailable, LH and FSH show whether the pituitary is signaling correctly, and elevated prolactin is associated with low testosterone and reduced libido. Measuring these together helps you and your doctor see where in the system an imbalance sits.

Can I order a hormone panel without a doctor's visit?

Yes, these tests are sold direct-to-consumer, so you can purchase online and have blood drawn at a partner lab location without a prior doctor's referral. Results come to you privately, and out-of-range values are best reviewed with your own physician.

Do men need estradiol tested?

Estradiol is routinely measured in men as part of a hormone balance assessment, it is the primary form of estrogen and is relevant to endocrine balance and bone health. It is included in these hormone panels and is also available as an individual test.

Is direct-to-consumer hormone testing available in every US state?

No, direct-to-consumer lab testing is restricted or prohibited in New York, New Jersey, and Rhode Island, so residents of those states may be blocked at the partner's checkout. Most other US states are served through the partner's network of draw locations.

How much does a male hormone panel cost?

At the time of writing, hormone panels start at $164.76 with the current 20% promotion (code ULTAF597), and individual hormone tests start at $21.56, for example, LH and FSH at $21.56 each and Testosterone Free and Total at $43.96. Promotions can change, so confirm final pricing on the partner page.
