Understanding Andrology Panel in Pune

What is Andrology Panel in Pune?

Available with Tata 1Mg labs at an affordable price in Pune, the Andrology Panel is a group of blood tests that provides a comprehensive assessment of reproductive health primarily in males as well as females. These tests include key hormones, including luteinizing hormone (LH), Follicle stimulating hormone (FSH), and the testosterone free and total. They help evaluate potential reproductive health problems including hormonal imbalances and fertility issues in both males and females.

An Andrology Panel is usually recommended in response to reproductive health concerns in both males and females. In males, it is specifically useful for those facing fertility challenges, sexual dysfunctions like erectile dysfunction or premature ejaculation, or those with symptoms of hormonal imbalance, such as low libido, fatigue, mood swings or changes in muscle mass. Additionally, it helps monitor effectiveness of hormone therapy and assess testicular health. For females, it is recommended when there are menstrual irregularities, symptoms of PCOS or difficulty with fertility.

In males, no special preparation is required for this test. However, in females, the preferred sampling time is day 2 or 3 of the menstrual cycle for LH & FSH.

What does Andrology Panel measure?

Contains 4 tests

An Andrology Panel measures essential hormones that play a significant role in reproductive health for both males and females. The panel tests for Luteinizing Hormone (LH) and Follicle Stimulating Hormone (FSH). LH and FSH testing is useful in predicting ovulation, evaluating infertility, diagnosing pituitary disorders, and evaluating patients with suspected hypogonadism. Also, this test is done as an adjunct in the evaluation of menstrual irregularities in females. Additionally, the panel assesses Total and Free Testosterone levels, which are vital for reproductive and overall health. In males, testosterone influences sperm production, libido, and physical strength, while in females, it plays a role in regulating energy levels, sex drive, bone and muscle health. Collectively, these measurements provide valuable insights into hormonal balance and help in identifying potential reproductive and endocrine issues.

LH & FSH

The LH & FSH test measures the levels of two key hormones - follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH), and luteinizing hormone (LH) in the blood. These hormones are vital for hormonal function and overall reproductive health in both males and females.

In females, FSH stimulates the growth and recruitment of immature ovarian follicles in the ovary.When the follicle matures and reaches 8–10 mm in diameter it starts to secrete significant amounts of estradiol. The sharp increase in estradiol production by the dominant follicle causes an LH surge. LH levels rise just before ovulation to trigger the release of a mature egg. This way, FSH levels help assess ovarian function in females. In males, FSH levels help assess testicular function. It helps in tthe production and maturation of sperm, while LH stimulates testosterone production.

The levels of these hormones are typically low during younger ages. However, as adolescence approaches, the brain starts producing gonadotropin-releasing hormone (GnRH). GnRH stimulates the pituitary gland to release FSH and LH. These gonadotropin hormones play a crucial role in the production of sex hormones such as testosterone, which are responsible for initiating the changes of puberty and controlling reproductive function in both males and females.
