Can Hormoncheck Männer help with Wechseljahre?

The question whether 'Hormoncheck Männer' (male hormone test) can help with 'Wechseljahre' (menopause) is conceptually flawed: menopause is a female condition defined by the cessation of ovarian function and decline in estradiol and progesterone. A male hormone panel typically measures testosterone, SHBG, DHEA, and cortisol – not female sex hormones. While men experience an age-related decline in testosterone (andropause), it is gradual and not analogous to menopause. There is no evidence that a male hormone test provides any benefit for menopausal symptoms in women. For men, such tests may be used in cases of suspected hypogonadism, but routine testing in asymptomatic men is not supported by guidelines. Home test kits often lack clinical validation and may lead to misinterpretation. For women experiencing menopausal symptoms, a targeted hormone assessment (e.g., estradiol, FSH) under medical supervision is appropriate. In summary, the male hormone check is not designed for menopause and should not be used for that purpose. Evidence is unclear/marketing.
