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

What's Included in This Test

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.

Testosterone (Total)

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.

FSH (Follicle-Stimulating Hormone)

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 (Luteinising Hormone)

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.

Prolactin

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.

Oestradiol

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 & Thyroid (TSH)

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.

Is This Test Right for You?

Who should consider a male

This panel is designed for any man who wants to understand his reproductive hormone health — whether actively trying to conceive or planning for the future.

Trying to Conceive

You and your partner have been trying for 6–12 months without success and want to investigate hormonal causes.

Low Libido or Erectile Difficulties

Reduced sex drive, difficulty achieving or maintaining erections — often linked to hormonal imbalance.

Fatigue & Reduced Muscle Mass

Unexplained tiredness, loss of strength or increased body fat — symptoms commonly associated with low testosterone.

Proactive Family Planning

You're planning to start a family in the near future and want a baseline understanding of your reproductive health.

Mood Changes & Low Motivation

Persistent low mood, irritability or lack of motivation — hormonal imbalance can significantly affect mental wellbeing.

Common Questions

Frequently asked questions about
male fertility blood tests in Dublin

Everything you need to know about Auralia's Male Fertility Panel.

Auralia's Male Fertility Panel tests testosterone (total), FSH (follicle-stimulating hormone), LH (luteinising hormone), prolactin, oestradiol, SHBG (sex hormone-binding globulin) and thyroid function (TSH). These are the key reproductive hormones that influence sperm production, sexual function and male fertility health.
The Male Fertility Panel at Auralia Dublin costs €225, fully inclusive with no hidden fees. A €50 deposit is taken at booking and fully deducted from the total cost. The price covers your blood draw, accredited laboratory analysis and comprehensive confidential digital report.
No. This is a hormone blood test that evaluates the hormonal drivers of male fertility — testosterone, FSH, LH and related hormones. A semen analysis examines sperm directly (count, motility, morphology). Both provide different but complementary information. If your hormone results suggest an issue, your GP or fertility specialist may recommend semen analysis as a next step.
No GP referral is required. You can book directly and confidentially via our enquiry form on auralia.ie. Many of our patients choose this test as a proactive first step before consulting their GP or a fertility clinic.
For the most accurate testosterone reading, a morning blood draw between 7am and 10am is recommended, as testosterone levels are naturally highest at this time. Fasting is not typically required for this panel, but your patient coordinator will provide specific preparation guidance when booking.
Yes. Testosterone is essential for sperm production and sexual function. Low testosterone — clinically known as hypogonadism — is found in approximately 30% of men evaluated for infertility. When combined with FSH and LH testing, this panel helps determine whether the cause is testicular or related to the pituitary gland, guiding your GP toward the most effective treatment approach.
Any man who has been trying to conceive for 6–12 months without success, or who is experiencing symptoms such as low libido, erectile difficulties, fatigue, reduced muscle mass or mood changes. It is also recommended for men proactively planning to start a family who want a baseline hormonal assessment before beginning the fertility journey.
Your digital report will clearly flag any results outside the normal range using our traffic-light system. Many hormonal causes of male fertility difficulty — such as low testosterone, elevated prolactin or thyroid dysfunction — are highly treatable with medication, lifestyle changes or supplementation. Your report includes clear next-step guidance for each flagged marker, ready to share with your GP or fertility specialist.
