Ordering the Male Hormones Profile | New York Only
Ordering the Male Hormones Profile | New York Only helps check key hormone levels that affect energy, muscle mass, mood, and reproductive function. This test measures testosterone, estradiol, free androgen index, prostate specific antigen, and sex hormone binding globulin, giving a clear picture of hormone balance. Interestingly, changes in these hormone levels can sometimes show up before any physical symptoms appear, making early testing useful for tracking shifts that might otherwise go unnoticed.
Ordering this test offers several specific benefits:
- Tracks testosterone and estrogen levels to help explain changes in energy, mood, or muscle strength.
- Checks prostate specific antigen to support prostate health monitoring.
- Measures sex hormone binding globulin, which can affect how much active testosterone is available in the body.
- Assesses the free androgen index, giving more detail about hormone activity than total testosterone alone.
- Provides a baseline for future hormone testing, making it easier to spot changes over time.
Who Should Consider Hormone and Androgen Testing
People who notice unexplained fatigue, mood changes, or shifts in muscle mass may benefit from this test. For example, someone who has been working out regularly but is not seeing expected muscle gains or is experiencing low motivation might find answers by checking their hormone levels.
Ordering this test may also be helpful in these situations:
- Experiencing hair thinning or loss that does not improve with regular care.
- Having trouble with sleep or frequent night sweats.
- Noticing a drop in sex drive or changes in sexual function.
- Feeling more irritable or anxious without a clear reason.
- Tracking hormone levels as part of a plan to address bone density concerns, since hormones can affect bone strength in men.
Testing these markers can help pinpoint the cause of symptoms like low energy, mood swings, or changes in body composition, and can guide targeted steps for improvement. Delaying this test may mean missing early signs of hormone imbalance, which could make it harder to address symptoms quickly and effectively.

|---|---|---|---|
| Testosterone, total | 300–1000 | Testosterone is the main male sex hormone, important for muscle mass, energy, and sexual function. This test shows the total amount of testosterone in your body. |
High levels mean there may be a risk for acne, mood changes, or prostate issues.
Low levels mean there may be fatigue, low sex drive, or muscle loss. |
| Estradiol | 10–40 | Estradiol is a type of estrogen that men need in small amounts for bone health and mood. This test checks if estradiol is in a healthy range for men. |
High levels mean there may be increased body fat, breast tissue growth, or mood changes.
Low levels mean there may be bone loss or trouble with mood balance. |
| Free androgen index | 30–150 | The free androgen index shows how much active testosterone is available in the body. It helps explain symptoms that total testosterone alone might miss. |
High levels mean there may be oily skin, acne, or increased body hair.

| Prostate specific antigen | 0–4 | Prostate specific antigen is a protein made by the prostate. This test helps monitor prostate health and can show changes that may need follow-up. |
High levels mean there may be prostate inflammation or other prostate concerns.
Low levels mean the prostate is likely healthy and not overactive. |
| Sex hormone binding globulin | 10–57 | Sex hormone binding globulin controls how much testosterone is free and active in the body. This test helps explain symptoms that do not match total testosterone levels. |
