Andropause Test

Andropause Profile Blood Test

The Andropause Profile Blood Test is a comprehensive examination designed to measure key hormone levels in men, particularly those experiencing symptoms of andropause, also known as male menopause. This condition is characterised by a gradual decline in testosterone levels, which can lead to physical, sexual, and psychological issues.

The test primarily measures levels of key biomarkers such as Testosterone, Free Androgen Index (FAI), Luteinising Hormone (LH), Sex Hormone Binding Globulin (SHBG), Dehydroepiandrosterone Sulphate (DHEAS), and Follicle-Stimulating Hormone (FSH). Please note that the specific biomarkers measured may vary slightly depending on the provider.
