Male hormones
Total testosterone, SHBG, free testosterone and sometimes LH, FSH or prolactin may be appropriate. Selection depends on the clinical question.
What you feel is where we start. Measurements can add context, but do not replace medical assessment.
Female hormones
Estradiol, progesterone, LH and FSH change with cycle phase and life stage. PMOS (PCOS), perimenopause and cycle complaints are not answered by a generic panel alone.
Thyroid and energy
TSH and free T4 are often considered when thyroid disease is suspected. Hashimoto’s and Graves’ disease require appropriate medical assessment.
Where to start?
Already have results? Start with interpretation. Need testing? Start by choosing the right panel.
FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS.
When should progesterone be tested?
The timing depends on cycle phase and the reason for testing.
Will a hormone panel explain every symptom?
No. Hormone results are one part of a broader clinical and lifestyle assessment.
