The Men's Hormone Panel provides the most complete picture of male hormonal health. Testosterone (Free & Total) with SHBG reveals your true bioavailable testosterone. Estradiol detects excess estrogen conversion. DHEA-S evaluates adrenal hormone production. Cortisol assesses stress response and adrenal function. Prolactin screens for pituitary issues that suppress testosterone. IGF-1 reflects growth hormone activity, which affects muscle mass, recovery, and aging. This panel is ideal for men experiencing fatigue, low libido, muscle loss, or mood changes.
Male hormone panel: Total + Free Testosterone, SHBG, Estradiol (E2), DHEA-S, Cortisol AM, Prolactin, IGF-1. The complete bioavailable-testosterone and adrenal-axis workup.
Men investigating low T symptoms (libido, ED, fatigue, mood, recovery), monitoring TRT response, evaluating fertility, or screening for pituitary causes of low T (high prolactin, low LH).

What can throw off this result
Physician-reviewed “Before your test” pages — what each factor does, for how long, and what to do about it.
A Men's Hormone Panel costs $199.99 at TestWell — $205.99 all-in when ordered alone, because the $6 lab processing fee is charged once per order, with no draw fee or physician fee added. Ordered directly from the labs' own consumer sites, the closest equivalent lists at $220.00 at Quest Health (list prices checked Sep 12, 2026; see the notes on how the products differ). With insurance, what you pay depends on your deductible and your plan's negotiated rate; TestWell's price is fixed before the draw and is HSA/FSA-eligible.

Testosterone Total alone tells you the bound-and-free combined value. The Men's Hormone Panel adds Free T + SHBG (true bioavailable T), Estradiol (excess from TRT), DHEA-S + Cortisol (adrenal axis), Prolactin (prolactinoma screen), and IGF-1 (growth-hormone activity). The full workup before initiating TRT.
TestWell charges $199.99 — vs $350 at Quest Direct and $400-$900 at endocrinology or TRT clinics.
Yes — morning fasting draw between 7-10 AM. Testosterone follows a strong diurnal rhythm; afternoon draws underestimate by 20-30%.
Total T includes hormone bound to SHBG and albumin; only the free fraction is biologically active. Pairing Free T with SHBG reveals true bioavailable testosterone — a man can have a 'normal' total T but low free T (common when SHBG is high), which explains low-T symptoms a total-only test would miss. If you also need LH and FSH to separate testicular from pituitary causes, our TRT Starting Panel adds them.
If you're 50+ or starting TRT, yes. TRT can accelerate growth of pre-existing prostate cancer. PSA Total is the standard pre-TRT baseline.
Men's Hormone Panel results are typically ready in 3–5 business days after your draw at Quest or Labcorp. TestWell emails you the moment they post, and your results dashboard shows each marker against its reference range with a plain-English explanation.
Oral contraceptives and estrogen, time of day and common medications can change a Men's Hormone Panel result without anything being wrong. Oral contraceptives and estrogen can raise SHBG and Cortisol and can lower Total Testosterone and Estradiol — expected; interpret testosterone with it. Time of day can shift Cortisol and Total Testosterone and can raise Prolactin — A.M. cortisol at 7–9 a.m.; P.M. cortisol as the lab specifies. Common medications can raise SHBG and can lower Total Testosterone and Cortisol — free testosterone and SHBG interpreted in that context. Each factor is covered on our physician-reviewed "Before your test" pages; when one applies, the fix is usually to remove it and retest.
Order the Men's Hormone Panel online from TestWell for $199.99 (plus a $6 per-order lab processing fee) — no doctor's visit, referral or insurance needed. A licensed physician authorizes the order, then you walk into any Quest or Labcorp patient service center near you for the draw (the lab locator on our site lists the closest ones by ZIP code), and results arrive in 3–5 business days.
