Hormone testing for women performed during reproductive years to diagnose menstrual cycle irregularities and ovulation disorders, as well as for fertility planning. Testing of follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH), luteinizing hormone (LH), estradiol, progesterone, and androgens like total testosterone, DHEA-S, and prolactin helps to evaluate for polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS). During perimenopause and the transition into menopause, tests of oestrogen, FT4, and prolactin help to characterize declining ovarian function and aid in symptom management such as hot flashes and mood changes. Occasionally, female hormone testing is used for screening, looking for conditions like early development, infertility, cancers, and some types of tumors.

Hormonal imbalances can have a significant impact on your health and quality of life. Frequently, you won’t even know something is wrong until it’s too late. Irregular periods, ovulation issues, low energy, mood changes and decreased libido are all symptoms of hormonal issues that can lead to serious complications like metabolic risk and infertility.
