Women's Hormones - (£174)

The Women’s Hormones Profile is a comprehensive blood test designed to assess key hormones that regulate female reproductive health, energy, mood, and metabolism. Hormonal imbalances can lead to symptoms such as irregular periods, mood changes, fertility issues, and fatigue. Regular testing helps identify disruptions early, allowing for tailored treatment and lifestyle adjustments to restore balance and support overall well-being.

Who is this test for?
This profile is ideal for women who:
– Experience irregular, absent, or heavy menstrual cycles.
– Have fertility concerns or are planning for pregnancy.
– Suffer from mood swings, low libido, or persistent fatigue.
– Are managing conditions like PCOS, perimenopause, or thyroid disorders.
– Want to monitor hormonal health as part of a preventive or wellness check.

What can be detected?

Reproductive Hormones:
– Luteinising Hormone (LH): Regulates ovulation and reproductive function; abnormal levels may indicate PCOS or ovulatory issues.
– Follicle-Stimulating Hormone (FSH): Stimulates egg production and assesses ovarian reserve.
– Estradiol (E2): The main form of estrogen, essential for menstrual regulation and fertility.
– Progesterone: Confirms ovulation and supports early pregnancy; low levels may indicate luteal phase defects.
– Prolactin: Elevated levels can interfere with ovulation and menstrual cycles.
– Testosterone: Present in smaller amounts in women; high levels may cause acne, hair growth, or irregular periods.

Thyroid Function:
– Thyroid-Stimulating Hormone (TSH): Measures thyroid activity; imbalances can contribute to fatigue, weight changes, and cycle irregularities.

Blood Health:
– Full Blood Count (FBC): Evaluates red and white blood cells and platelets to detect anemia, inflammation, or infection that may impact hormone health.

Fasting requirements
Fasting is not required for this test. However, timing of sample collection (e.g., specific day of the menstrual cycle) may be advised for accurate hormone interpretation.
