Which hormones are analysed in the Men's Hormone Test? Testosterone Cortisol DHEA Progesterone Estrogen (specifically estradiol, E2) DHEA Dehydroepiandrosterone (DHEA), also known as androstenolone, is a hormone that can be converted to both testosterone and estrogen and is such a powerful hormone that it is classified as performance enhancing drug in excessive doses. With this in mind, we can see why it is so important for both men and women. Normally, DHEA is at its highest when we are in our 20s and then decreases gradually over the years after 30 and beyond. DHEA affects our mental and physical performance, energy, potency, memory, muscle mass, skin, body odor, bone mass, the development of puberty, helps keep us young and healthy. Testosterone Testosterone is needed for, among other things, energy, endurance, muscle strength and libido (sex drive). Men who have too low testosterone may have erection problems or prostate problems, decreased libido or muscle strength, anxiety, depression and decreased energy. Too much testosterone, on the other hand, can lead to aggressive behavior. Cortisol This test analyses your value of cortisol in the morning. If you want to measure diurnal cortisol, we recommend the Cortisol Test which is collected 7 times throughout the day. Cortisol is a stress hormone and is released when we are exposed to physical or mental stress. Cortisol is produced in the adrenal glands and helps you to perform better physically and mentally in the "acute stress situation". Neither too high nor too low cortisol is good. Progesterone in men Men need progesterone to produce testosterone and there is thus a direct link between low levels of progesterone and testosterone in men. Too low levels of progesterone in men can cause symptoms such as low libido, reduced sperm quality, impaired potency, depression, decreased muscle mass, fatigue, impaired memory and affect sleep negatively. Why measure estrogen in men? Men also have estrogen, albeit in low amounts. Men with too high levels of estrogen can develop excessive breast tissue, also called gynecomastia. Other common symptoms of elevated estrogen levels are erectile dysfunction, infertility, depression and headaches / migraines. How does the Men's Hormone Test work? The test is a saliva test that is collected on two occasions during a day and is performed at home; you take the first saliva immediately when you wake up and the second saliva sample is taken 30 minutes after the first. The sample is then sent to the lab for analysis and you will receive your answer digitally.
