How Hormones Affect Male Fertility in London – What You Need to Test?
What Hormones Impact Sperm Production and Fertility?
When it comes to male infertility, many people only think about sperm count – but the truth is, your hormones may be the root cause.
If you’ve been trying to conceive for 6 months or more without success, it’s time to look deeper. Hormonal imbalances can disrupt everything from sperm production to sexual function – often silently.
At Marylebone Diagnostic Centre, we specialise in male hormone testing in London, designed for men who want answers fast, discreetly, and with expert-led care.
Key Hormones That Affect Male Fertility
Here are the most important hormones we check – and why each one matters:
- FSH (Follicle-Stimulating Hormone):
Triggers sperm production in the testicles.
Low FSH = underperforming sperm production. - LH (Luteinising Hormone):
Stimulates the Leydig cells to make testosterone.
Imbalance = lower testosterone and poor sperm health. - Testosterone (Total & Free):
Essential for libido, sperm production, energy, and mood.
Low testosterone is a major cause of male infertility. - SHBG (Sex Hormone Binding Globulin):
Affects how much free testosterone is available.
High SHBG can block testosterone from doing its job. - Prolactin:
A hormone better known in women – but in men, high levels can suppress testosterone and reduce fertility. - Albumin:
Supports hormone transport – useful in calculating bioavailable testosterone. - PSA (Prostate-Specific Antigen):
A prostate health marker that’s essential if you’re planning fertility treatment or sperm retrieval.
Symptoms of Hormonal Imbalance in Men
Many men with fertility issues feel completely normal – but there are signs your hormones could be out of sync:
- Low libido or erectile issues
- Fatigue, low energy, or mood swings
- Decreased muscle mass
- Loss of facial or body hair
- Difficulty conceiving
- Small or soft testicles
Don’t ignore these symptoms. You deserve clarity – and the right tests from a trusted clinic in Central London.
