Sex Hormone Panel

Meaning

A Sex Hormone Panel is a comprehensive clinical diagnostic test that simultaneously measures the circulating concentrations of multiple key steroid and peptide hormones central to reproductive and sexual function. Typically, this assessment includes total and free testosterone, estradiol, progesterone, dehydroepiandrosterone sulfate (DHEA-S), and the pituitary gonadotropins, Luteinizing Hormone (LH) and Follicle-Stimulating Hormone (FSH). This panel is an essential tool for evaluating fertility status, accurately diagnosing endocrine disorders like hypogonadism, and meticulously guiding personalized hormone replacement therapy protocols.
