Hormone Test Panels for Men & Women in Wisconsin

What this test is

Hormone test panels measure the levels of various hormones circulating in your body. Hormones are chemical messengers that play vital roles in many bodily functions, including mood, metabolism, and reproductive health.

What it measures

• Testosterone — reflects sex drive, muscle mass, and mood
• Estradiol — reflects female reproductive health and bone health
• Progesterone — reflects menstrual cycle and pregnancy support
• LH (Luteinizing Hormone) — reflects reproductive function and ovulation
• FSH (Follicle-Stimulating Hormone) — reflects reproductive function and egg/sperm production
• DHEA-S — reflects adrenal gland function and hormone precursor

What the test involves

This test is performed using a standard blood draw. A trained professional will collect a small sample of your blood, typically from a vein in your arm.

Why it is often ordered
