Female Hormone Health Profile

Tests levels of free triiodothyronine (FT3), free thyroxine (FT4), and thyroid stimulating hormone (TSH) to assess thyroid function, diagnose thyroid disorders such as hypothyroidism or hyperthyroidism, and monitor treatment effectiveness.

Measures the level of FSH, a hormone that plays a key role in regulating the reproductive system, including the development of follicles in the ovaries and sperm production in men, aiding in the diagnosis and management of infertility, menstrual disorders, and pituitary gland function.

Measures the level of LH, a hormone that plays a key role in regulating the reproductive system, including stimulating ovulation in women and testosterone production in men, aiding in the diagnosis and management of fertility issues, menstrual disorders, and pituitary gland function.

Measures the level of SHBG, a protein produced by the liver that binds to sex hormones such as testosterone and estradiol, regulating their availability in the bloodstream. SHBG levels are used to assess androgen status, evaluate conditions related to hormone imbalance, and monitor treatment effectiveness in disorders such as polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) and hypogonadism.

Measures the level of oestradiol (estradiol), a form of oestrogen, which is important in the menstrual cycle and reproductive health in females, and also plays a role in bone health and cardiovascular function. It is used to assess ovarian function, monitor fertility treatments, and diagnose conditions related to oestrogen imbalance.

Measures the level of progesterone, a hormone primarily produced by the ovaries in females and adrenal glands in both sexes, which plays a crucial role in regulating the menstrual cycle and supporting pregnancy. It is used to assess ovulation, monitor pregnancy, evaluate menstrual irregularities, and diagnose conditions related to progesterone imbalance.

Measures the level of testosterone, the primary male sex hormone (androgen), which plays a key role in the development of male reproductive tissues, secondary sexual characteristics, and overall health. It is also present in smaller amounts in females and is important for their reproductive and overall health as well. Testosterone levels are tested to diagnose and monitor conditions such as hypogonadism, infertility, and certain types of cancers.

Prolactin is a hormone primarily associated with lactation (milk production) in women. It is produced by the pituitary gland in the brain. Elevated levels of prolactin can occur due to various reasons such as pregnancy, breastfeeding, certain medications, pituitary tumours (prolactinomas), and other medical conditions. Measurement of prolactin levels is important in evaluating fertility issues, menstrual irregularities, and conditions related to prolactin excess (hyperprolactinemia).
