Women's Hormones Plus - (£194)

The Women’s Hormones Plus Profile provides a comprehensive analysis of hormonal and metabolic balance in women. Hormones regulate key aspects of reproductive health, metabolism, mood, and weight control. Disruptions in these systems can lead to symptoms such as irregular menstrual cycles, fertility challenges, fatigue, and unexplained weight changes. This advanced panel assesses reproductive and thyroid hormones along with leptin, offering deeper insight into the connection between metabolism and hormonal function.

Who is this test for?
This profile is suitable for women who:
– Experience irregular, absent, or heavy menstrual cycles.
– Are managing fertility issues or undergoing reproductive treatments.
– Struggle with weight gain, particularly around the abdomen.
– Experience symptoms such as mood swings, fatigue, acne, or low libido.
– Have been diagnosed with or suspect PCOS, thyroid dysfunction, or hormonal imbalances.
– Want to assess both reproductive and metabolic hormones for a complete hormonal overview.

What can be detected?

Reproductive Hormones:
– Follicle-Stimulating Hormone (FSH): Evaluates ovarian reserve and follicle development.
– Luteinising Hormone (LH): Stimulates ovulation and helps detect PCOS or ovulatory irregularities.
– Estradiol (E2): The primary estrogen responsible for regulating the menstrual cycle and fertility.
– Progesterone: Indicates ovulation and supports early pregnancy.
– Prolactin: High levels can interfere with ovulation and affect fertility.
– Testosterone: Assesses androgen balance; elevated levels may indicate PCOS or hormonal imbalance.

Thyroid Function:
– Thyroid-Stimulating Hormone (TSH): Reflects thyroid activity; abnormalities can influence energy levels, metabolism, and menstrual regularity.

Metabolic Hormone:
– Leptin: Regulates appetite, fat storage, and reproductive hormone communication; abnormal levels are associated with obesity, PCOS, and metabolic disorders.

Blood Health:
– Full Blood Count (FBC): Evaluates overall blood health, detecting anemia, inflammation, or immune issues that may affect hormonal function and energy levels.

Fasting requirements
Fasting is not required for this test. However, timing of the blood draw may be recommended depending on your menstrual cycle phase for accurate interpretation.
