What’s included in this profile test?

• Follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH)

The follicle-stimulating hormone is essential for the normal functioning of the ovaries, influencing ovulation and egg production. As women age and egg reserves decline, FSH levels naturally increase. However, high FSH levels outside this context may signal menopause or issues affecting fertility, mirroring the concerns raised by LH(Luteinising hormone) fluctuations.

• Oestradiol (Oestrogen)

Oestradiol is vital for egg production, bone density, and cholesterol regulation. Declining levels often signify menopause, while both low and high levels may lead to symptoms such as:

• • Low libido
  • Irregular periods
  • Hot flushes
  • Headaches
  • Depression
  • Fatigue and insomnia

• Luteinising Hormone (LH)

The luteinising hormone plays a key role in reproduction. Midway through your cycle, LH levels peak, triggering ovulation by encouraging the ovaries to release eggs. Abnormally low or high LH levels can lead to irregular menstrual cycles and fertility challenges. Elevated levels may also indicate conditions such as menopause or Polycystic Ovary Syndrome (PCOS).

• Prolactin

This hormone plays an essential role in reproductive health and should remain within a balanced range. Imbalances may contribute to various symptoms, including irregular periods and reduced fertility.

Why should I measure my hormones?

• Irregular periods

For those with irregular cycles, including symptoms like excess hair growth, acne, or unexplained weight gain, a PCOS-specific blood test may provide more precise insights.

• No periods

Testing can be performed at any time if you no longer have periods. However, without a clear cycle reference, interpretation of results may require additional context.

• Regular periods

Testing on the first day of your cycle (the first day of bleeding) offers the most accurate results for assessing hormonal fluctuations.

Why should I check my female hormone levels?

Hormones naturally fluctuate throughout a woman’s menstrual cycle and various life stages. However, imbalances can significantly impact overall health and well-being, leading to:

• Fatigue
• Difficulty conceiving
• Weight changes
• Irregular periods
• Mood swings

Understanding the levels of your hormones can provide clarity, empowering you to address imbalances and improve your quality of life.

Symptoms of hormonal imbalance

Hormonal imbalance symptoms can often mimic those of menopause, including:

• Muscle stiffness, weakness, or tenderness
• Mood changes such as irritability, anxiety, or depression
• Irregular or absent periods
• Vaginal dryness
• Weight gain
• Fatigue
• Night sweats
• Acne or problematic skin
• Hair thinning or loss
