what blood tests should you take. Blood analisis for men
Sources:
For a general male health check, the episodes highlight these blood tests:
- Testosterone assessment: Check total testosterone together with sex hormone-binding globulin (SHBG), or measure free testosterone. One guest also lists estradiol and sometimes DHT as part of a male hormone panel.
- General health and metabolic markers: Lipids are specifically mentioned alongside hormone testing; a basic complete blood count (CBC) and comprehensive metabolic panel (CMP) are also suggested as accessible baseline blood work.
- How often: The hormone-focused guest suggests discussing results with a physician and typically following up in about six months.
Which tests are appropriate depends on your health and reason for testing, so review the list and results with a qualified clinician.
