Frequently Asked Questions: Comprehensive Male Sexual Health Panel
What causes low libido in men besides low testosterone?
Low libido in men has multiple causes beyond testosterone. Elevated estradiol suppresses libido even with normal testosterone. Elevated prolactin from a pituitary adenoma is a frequently missed cause. Hypothyroidism causes fatigue and low drive that mimics low testosterone. Chronic high cortisol suppresses the pituitary’s gonadotropin output. High SHBG reduces free testosterone availability. The Comprehensive Male Sexual Health Panel screens all of these in one draw.
What is the difference between free and total testosterone?
Total testosterone measures all testosterone in the blood — including the 97-98% bound to proteins (SHBG and albumin) that is biologically unavailable. Free testosterone measures only the unbound fraction that actually enters cells and produces effects. A man can have normal total testosterone but significantly low free testosterone if SHBG is elevated — a situation missed by testing total testosterone alone.
Do I need to fast for this panel?
Fasting for 10 to 12 hours is recommended for the CMP and Lipid Panel components. The testosterone draw should be done between 7 and 10 AM for the most accurate result — testosterone naturally peaks in the morning. Cortisol AM must also be drawn in the morning. Schedule your Labcorp visit for a morning time slot while fasted.
Can I order this panel without a doctor?
Yes. Personalabs provides the physician-approved lab order with your purchase. Order online, visit any Labcorp location, and get results in your secure account within 24 to 48 hours. No referral or insurance required. HSA and FSA eligible.
