OVERVIEW

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 COMMENTS

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

DR. ADAM STATEN - GP VIEW AND RED FLAG SYMPTOMS

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.

Red flag symptoms for the Male Fertility Insights Blood Test

Even if your blood tests are normal, you should see a doctor if you have any of the symptoms below because they may be a sign of serious underlying illness. 

  • Unexplained weight loss.
  • Drenching sweats during the night.
  • Persistent fevers.
  • Progressively severe symptoms of any kind.

SPECIAL INSTRUCTIONS

Hi, I am Stefania Brown, I am the Laboratory Manager at One Day Tests and here are the lab's special requests for the Male Fertility Insights Blood Test.

SPECIAL INSTRUCTIONS

You should take this test after any symptoms of a short term illness have settled.

Clinic appointment - how to prepare for the Male Fertility Insights Blood Test

If you are coming into one of our clinics for the test, this is what you need to do before you arrive:

  • Read the instructions in the SPECIAL INSTRUCTIONS section
  • Drink plenty of water about an hour before the appointment.
  • Avoid coffee/tea/energy drinks. Water is good!
  • That’s it! We’ll do the rest.

Home test kit - how it works with the Male Fertility Insights Blood Test

Our blood test kits are simple and convenient.

The most important step in doing a blood test at home is to read the instructions very carefully. The process is very simple, but there are a few pitfalls you need to be aware of - you will save yourself a lot of time if you do it right the first time around!

  • Full printed instructions will arrive with your kit - please read them carefully.
  • Drink plenty before taking the sample and warm your hands up in the sink with warm water for a few minutes. This will make your blood flow much better.
  • Fill the tubes to the top line. We don’t need much blood; filling tubes to the top line is about 15 drops of blood.
  • Post the samples on the same day you take them, before midday, Monday to Thursday. If you post it any other time it might get to us late or be stuck at a sorting office over the weekend. You will then have to do it again.
  • Package the sample in the same box the kit came in. Otherwise, Royal Mail or DPD will reject it. The sample tubes go into a pouch, then into a cardboard box, and then into a return envelope. All of this is provided in the kit: please use it.

We look forward to receiving your sample in our lab!

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

Here are some of the most frequently asked questions about the Male Fertility Insights Blood 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.
