Why you might see this term
It contributes to reproductive function and is interpreted with symptoms, timing, SHBG and sometimes LH and FSH. A hormone blood test does not replace semen analysis.
What to keep in mind
A single result does not diagnose every cause of symptoms or sperm problems. Discuss prescribed or non-prescribed hormone use with a qualified clinician.
