Description
Comprehensive Male Profile II
A broad-spectrum hormone panel for men that builds on Profile I by including a more extensive range of blood spot hormone tests.
What does this test measure?
Saliva is used for the 4-point cortisol curve (adrenal assessment), while the blood spot covers:
- Testosterone and estradiol
- Estrone and progesterone
- DHEA-S and SHBG
- PSA
- Full thyroid panel (TSH, Free T3, Free T4, TPO antibodies)
Who is this test most suitable for?
- Men on hormone supplementation (testosterone, DHEA) who need monitoring
- Men with sedentary lifestyle and weight gain
- Those with high stress and potential adrenal exhaustion
- Men with history of thyroid or autoimmune issues
Clinical Use
This panel is ideal for a detailed investigation of male endocrine health, particularly in men with complex symptoms such as those seen in andropause with coexistent thyroid issues or metabolic syndrome. By measuring estrone and progesterone, it checks for imbalances that might affect prostate health or mood. SHBG helps interpret if a normal total testosterone is rendered low by high binding protein. This comprehensive profile guides personalised treatment for mid-life men.
