About the test

The male fertility insights blood test checks 4 different hormones that are all involved with sperm production and sexual function. This panel of tests helps to exclude hormonal causes of male factor infertility.

There are a wide range of medical conditions and nutritional deficiencies that may reduce your chance of making your partner conceive or produce healthy sperm. It is important to get a baseline for your fertility biomarkers and maximise your chances of success.

Follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH) plays a crucial role in male fertility. In men, FSH is produced by the pituitary gland and is responsible for stimulating the testes to produce sperm. It acts on the Sertoli cells within the testes, which support sperm development. Optimal FSH levels are essential for maintaining healthy sperm production, and any disruptions in FSH secretion can impact male fertility.

With our free Health Dashboard tool online, you can track your biomarkers over time and compare your results with previous ones. This feature provides a clear understanding of how your health is progressing and helps you make better-informed decisions about your well-being and any improvement on the fertility biomarkers.

Doctor's notes

Hi, I am Dr. Adam Staten and here's my view on this test as a GP and Clinical Director at One Day Tests.

Abnormally high levels of FSH in men can indicate a problem with the testes` ability to produce sperm, potentially leading to infertility.

Conversely, low FSH levels may also affect fertility by hindering the maturation of sperm cells.

Monitoring FSH levels through blood tests can help diagnose male fertility issues and guide treatment options, such as hormone therapy, to address the underlying causes of infertility.

Frequently Asked Questions

Hi, I am Lana Nela, Lead Nurse, and here is what we are frequently asked about this test.

Can lifestyle affect male fertility?

Lifestyle choices like smoking, excessive alcohol consumption, stress, drug use, and excess weight can impair sperm production and function. Heat exposure, such as prolonged hot baths or tight underwear, can also harm sperm health.

What else can influence male fertility?

Certain medical conditions, such as varicoceles (enlarged veins in the scrotum), infections, or sexually transmitted diseases, can negatively affect male fertility by damaging the reproductive organs or obstructing the sperm`s path.

Finally, factors like sperm count, motility (movement), and morphology (shape) can affect fertility.

Why do you test the hormones?

Hormonal imbalances, including low levels of testosterone, can impact sperm production and fertility. Conditions like hypogonadism can disrupt the hormonal balance needed for normal sperm development.

Why take this test?

Hi, I am Dr. Marco Esposito and here is why it's important to take this test.

To see if there is anything amiss that may be preventing you and your partner conceiving.
