Six Sex Hormone Tests: Normal Testosterone Levels

Sometimes, amenorrhea in women results from hormonal imbalances within the body, with low estrogen levels being the primary underlying cause. Many individuals visit hospitals for the “six-sex-hormone panel” test. So, what are the normal reference ranges for testosterone in this panel?

Normal Reference Ranges for Testosterone in the Six-Sex-Hormone Panel

The normal reference ranges for the six sex hormones are as follows:
1. Testosterone: 0.5–2.6 nmol/L;
2. Luteinizing Hormone (LH): 1.9–12.5 IU/mL;
3. Estradiol (E2): 69.4–905.4 pmol/L;
4. Follicle-Stimulating Hormone (FSH): 2.5–10.2 IU/mL;
5. Progesterone: 0.5–4.5 nmol/L;
6. Prolactin (PRL): 59–619 µIU/mL.

The six-sex-hormone panel assesses the following hormones: follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH), testosterone, luteinizing hormone (LH), estradiol (E2), progesterone, and prolactin. Maintaining normal sex hormone levels is crucial for female endocrine balance. When all six hormone levels fall within their respective normal reference ranges, it generally indicates healthy ovarian function, favorable conditions for conception, and overall good health. This panel is a routine, foundational test in reproductive medicine, and the optimal timing for testing is days 3–5 of the menstrual cycle at a reputable medical institution.

Values either below or above the normal reference ranges for any of these six hormones may indicate underlying physiological abnormalities or endocrine dysfunction. In such cases, women should follow their physician’s recommendations and actively cooperate with prescribed treatment. We hope this information proves helpful!
