About
This diagnostic panel is used to assess overall hormonal balance and to detect the causes of decreased energy, fatigue, or libido issues.
What's included
Hormones play a key role in sports performance, recovery, and overall well-being. This check-up helps assess androgen levels, pituitary function, and possible hormonal imbalances affecting muscle mass, libido, energy, and mood.
Program Components:
Total Testosterone
📌The primary male sex hormone. Influences strength, endurance, libido, and recovery.

Free Testosterone
📌 The portion of testosterone readily available for tissues. It plays a crucial role in strength, endurance, recovery, and sexual health.

Luteinizing Hormone (LH)
📌 Regulates testosterone production in the testes. Important for diagnosing primary and secondary disorders.

Follicle-Stimulating Hormone (FSH)
📌 Responsible for fertility and healthy spermatogenesis. Useful for family planning or a reduced libido.

Prolactin
📌 Elevated prolactin can suppress testosterone, reduce libido, and cause mood fluctuations.

Estradiol
📌 The male body also produces estradiol – especially important to monitor in cases of excess weight, gynecomastia, or hormone therapy.

Progesterone
📌 Although often labeled a “female” hormone, in men, it participates in the synthesis of other hormones. It can be relevant in chronic fatigue, low libido, or sleep disturbances.

Bruising (hematoma) after a blood test
Blood collection is a routine procedure, but it may sometimes cause bruising at the puncture site.
During venous blood collection both the skin and the vein are punctured. When the needle is removed, blood can leak into the surrounding tissue – especially if the pressure in the vein is high – and a hematoma (bruise) may form.
Contributing factors include the body's physiological and anatomical features: the condition of the veins and vessels, their thickness and elasticity, position and visibility.
How to avoid bruising
- Press firmly on the puncture site for 5–10 minutes.
- Keep the plaster on for at least 30 minutes.
- Avoid straining the arm – don't lift anything heavy for an hour and don't drive for the first 15–20 minutes after the draw. Even minor activity can lead to extensive bruising and swelling around the site.
