About This Service

What is the Andropause profile?

The Andropause Profile is a specialized blood test designed to evaluate hormone levels and metabolic factors associated with andropause, often referred to as male menopause. This profile provides insights into hormonal changes that can affect energy levels, mood, and overall well-being in men as they age. What is the Andropause Profile? The Andropause Profile includes the following tests: Albumin: A protein in the blood that helps assess overall health and liver function. Testosterone Free Calculated: Measures the amount of free (active) testosterone available in the blood. Dehydroepiandrosterone sulfate (DHEA-S): A hormone produced by the adrenal glands that plays a role in hormone balance. Follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH): Important for reproductive health and hormone regulation. Testosterone: The primary male sex hormone that affects various aspects of health and vitality. Free androgen index (FAI): Provides insight into the level of free testosterone relative to sex hormone-binding globulin (SHBG). Luteinizing hormone (LH): Regulates testosterone production and overall reproductive function. Sex hormone-binding globulin (SHBG): A protein that binds to sex hormones and affects their availability. Indications for testing This profile is recommended for men experiencing: Symptoms of andropause: Such as decreased libido, fatigue, mood swings, and loss of muscle mass. Hormonal imbalances: To assess testosterone levels and related hormones. Fertility issues: When evaluating factors affecting reproductive health. Metabolic concerns: To understand how hormonal changes might be influencing overall well-being. What can be detected? The Andropause Profile helps in: Identifying hormonal imbalances: By measuring key hormones and proteins involved in male reproductive health. Assessing testosterone levels: Including both total and free testosterone to evaluate its impact on symptoms. Evaluating DHEA-S levels: To understand its role in overall hormonal balance and health. Detecting changes in SHBG and FAI: Which can affect the availability and function of testosterone in the body. Fasting requirements Fasting is not required for the Andropause Profile. You can eat and drink normally before the test. Key benefits The Andropause Profile offers a comprehensive assessment of hormonal and metabolic factors related to andropause. By providing detailed information on testosterone levels, DHEA-S, and other key indicators, this profile supports the accurate diagnosis and effective management of symptoms associated with male hormonal changes. It helps in creating a targeted approach to improve overall health and quality of life.

Understanding Your Report

Your results explained

Your report presents each marker clearly against established reference ranges — making it straightforward to understand where you stand and what, if anything, needs attention.

Low

Below Range

A result below the reference range means a marker is lower than expected. This can affect how you feel and may need dietary, supplementation, or clinical attention.

Next step: Review with a clinician to determine whether correction is needed.
Balanced

Within Range

Results within the expected range indicate this marker is functioning normally. A good baseline for any planned treatment or lifestyle programme.

Next step: Proceed with confidence, and retest periodically to track changes.
Elevated

Above Range

A result above the reference range may indicate physiological stress or an imbalance that deserves attention — even before any symptoms are present.

Next step: Clinician review is recommended before proceeding with any treatment.
