Evidence check: Hormoncheck Männer in the context of fertility
T
TIKKI knowledge answer
MyBody-X offers male hormone checks measuring parameters like testosterone, LH, FSH, and prolactin. These hormones are indeed relevant for male fertility: testosterone drives sperm production, while LH and FSH regulate testicular function. However, the evidence for the benefit of such home tests in a fertility context is limited. Clinical studies show that hormone profiles are used in fertility diagnostics, but interpretation requires medical expertise – single measurements can fluctuate significantly due to time of day, stress, sleep, and diet. MyBody-X itself states that the tests are not diagnostic. For a thorough fertility assessment, a semen analysis, clinical examination, and possibly repeated hormone measurements are necessary. The evidence for the sole use of a home hormone check is therefore 'human-moderate': there is scientific basis, but the practical predictive value for an individual is limited. Safety note: If results are abnormal or if there is a desire for children, a specialist (urologist/andrologist) should always be consulted.
