About this profile
The Amenorrhea Profile is a specialised female hormone blood test designed to investigate absent periods, missed menstrual cycles and hormonal imbalances that may affect reproductive health.
Amenorrhea refers to the absence of menstrual periods. It may occur due to hormonal changes, irregular ovulation, stress, certain medications or underlying health conditions.
This profile measures four key reproductive hormones: FSH, LH, prolactin and oestradiol, providing valuable information about hormonal activity and helping healthcare professionals investigate possible causes of menstrual irregularities.
Whether you are experiencing missed periods, irregular menstrual cycles or fertility concerns, the Amenorrhea Profile can support further assessment of your hormonal health.
Who Should Consider This Test?
The Amenorrhea Blood Test may be suitable for women who:
Have missed several menstrual periods without an obvious explanation.
Experience irregular, delayed or absent menstrual cycles.
Have symptoms suggesting a reproductive hormonal imbalance.
Are experiencing difficulties conceiving alongside irregular periods.
Have symptoms such as hot flushes, unexpected breast milk discharge or changes in menstrual patterns.
Are undergoing investigations for possible ovarian or pituitary hormone disorders.
What Does the Amenorrhea Profile Include?
This female hormone blood test measures four important reproductive hormones:
1. Luteinising Hormone (LH)
LH plays an essential role in regulating ovulation and the menstrual cycle. Abnormal LH levels may indicate changes in reproductive hormone regulation or ovulatory function.
2. Follicle-Stimulating Hormone (FSH)
FSH stimulates the development of ovarian follicles and supports normal reproductive function. FSH testing can help assess ovarian hormone activity and investigate absent or irregular periods.
3. Prolactin (PRL)
Prolactin is produced by the pituitary gland and is mainly associated with breast milk production. Elevated prolactin levels can interfere with ovulation and menstrual regularity, sometimes contributing to absent periods and fertility problems.
4. Oestradiol (E2)
Oestradiol is a major female reproductive hormone involved in menstrual cycle regulation, ovarian function and the development of the uterine lining. Abnormal levels may provide information about hormonal changes affecting menstruation.
What Can This Test Help Investigate?
The Amenorrhea Profile can support the assessment of:
Absent menstrual periods (amenorrhea): Investigating hormonal factors that may contribute to missed or stopped periods.
Irregular menstrual cycles: Assessing reproductive hormone levels associated with menstrual irregularities.
Ovulation-related hormonal disturbances: Identifying patterns that may suggest changes in ovarian or pituitary hormone regulation.
Possible polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS): Supporting broader investigations where PCOS is suspected.
Possible hypothalamic or pituitary hormone disturbances: Helping identify hormonal patterns that may require further medical assessment.
Early ovarian insufficiency: Providing hormone measurements that may assist further clinical investigation.
Why Choose an Amenorrhea Hormone Blood Test?
Measuring reproductive hormones can provide useful information when investigating unexplained menstrual changes.
The Amenorrhea Profile helps healthcare professionals:
Assess selected hormones involved in menstrual cycle regulation.
Identify hormonal abnormalities that may contribute to missed periods.
Investigate possible ovarian or pituitary hormone disturbances.
Determine whether further tests or specialist assessment may be appropriate.
Monitor reproductive hormone levels when clinically indicated.
Do I Need to Fast?
No fasting is required for the Amenorrhea Profile. You can eat and drink normally before your blood test unless your healthcare professional advises otherwise.
