Hirsutism Profile Blood Test - (£147)

A Targeted Hormonal Assessment for Unwanted Hair Growth in Women

The Hirsutism Profile is a focused hormone blood test designed to help identify the causes of excess or male-pattern hair growth in women. This condition, known as hirsutism, is often related to hormonal imbalances, particularly androgens such as testosterone. It may be linked to underlying conditions like polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) or adrenal disorders.

This specialised test is available at our clinic in Slough and is intended for women looking to investigate the root causes of their symptoms discreetly and efficiently.

What’s Measured in the Hirsutism Profile?

This profile typically includes a combination of the following hormones:

• Total Testosterone
• Free Testosterone
• Dehydroepiandrosterone Sulfate (DHEAS)
• Luteinising Hormone (LH)
• Follicle-Stimulating Hormone (FSH)
• Sex Hormone Binding Globulin (SHBG)
• Prolactin (PRL)
• 17-Hydroxyprogesterone

These markers offer insight into the balance between male and female hormones, ovarian function, adrenal gland activity, and overall endocrine health.

Who Is This Test For?

This test is most suitable for:

• Women experiencing excess or unusual facial or body hair
• Individuals with suspected or confirmed PCOS
• Those with irregular menstrual cycles or signs of androgen excess
• Patients seeking a deeper understanding of hormone-related symptoms such as acne, hair thinning, or fertility issues
• Anyone advised by a GP, gynaecologist, or endocrinologist to assess androgen levels
