Male Fertility
Blood Test Dublin
Trying to conceive? Auralia's Male Fertility Panel evaluates testosterone and related reproductive hormones to rule out common hormonal causes of difficulty conceiving. Fast, confidential and no GP referral needed. Results in 72 hours.
What is the Male Fertility Panel?
The Male Fertility Panel is a private blood test in Dublin that evaluates the key reproductive hormones influencing male fertility. Around 30% of infertility cases are attributed to male factor causes — and hormonal imbalance is among the most common and most treatable of these.
This panel assesses testosterone, FSH (follicle-stimulating hormone), LH (luteinising hormone), prolactin, oestradiol, SHBG and thyroid function — the hormones that directly govern sperm production, sexual function and reproductive health. Unlike a semen analysis which examines sperm directly, this blood test evaluates the hormonal drivers behind sperm production — providing a different but complementary layer of clinical insight.
Whether you've been trying to conceive or simply want a proactive baseline check, the Male Fertility Panel at Auralia Dublin provides fast, confidential results with no GP referral needed.
- Evaluates testosterone — the primary hormone driving sperm production and sexual function
- Tests FSH and LH — the pituitary hormones that signal the testes to produce sperm
- Screens prolactin — elevated levels can suppress testosterone and impair fertility
- Checks thyroid function — dysfunction can reduce sperm quality and libido
- Confidential results with clear traffic-light report — GP-ready in 72 hours
Hormones tested in the
Male Fertility Panel
Each hormone is clinically selected for its direct role in male reproductive function, sperm production and sexual health.
The primary male sex hormone. Essential for sperm production, libido, erection quality and muscle mass. Low testosterone — found in approximately 30% of men evaluated for infertility — is one of the most treatable causes of male reproductive difficulty.
Produced by the pituitary gland, FSH drives sperm production in the seminiferous tubules of the testes. Elevated FSH typically indicates testicular damage or impaired sperm production. It is the single most useful hormonal indicator of the state of sperm-producing tissue.
LH signals the Leydig cells in the testes to produce testosterone. Abnormal LH combined with low testosterone helps distinguish between primary testicular failure and pituitary gland dysfunction — a critical distinction for treatment planning.
A pituitary hormone that, when elevated in men, suppresses GnRH — reducing both testosterone production and sperm output. High prolactin can cause low libido, erectile dysfunction and infertility. Often caused by stress, medications or pituitary conditions.
A form of oestrogen present in small amounts in men. Essential for healthy sperm production and bone density, but excess oestradiol — often linked to increased body fat — can suppress testosterone and impair fertility. The balance between testosterone and oestradiol matters.
SHBG (sex hormone-binding globulin) binds testosterone in the blood — high SHBG reduces the amount of free, usable testosterone available to tissues. TSH screens for thyroid dysfunction, which can impair sperm quality, reduce libido and cause fatigue.
