Hormones are essential chemical messengers. Are your hormones balanced?
Your sex hormones influence various processes including menstrual cycle and ovulation, bone and skin health, breastmilk production, libido, muscle growth, and red blood cell production, so it is no wonder that an imbalance can cause so many health effects.
Why consider this test?
This test is specifically designed for women of all ages. As we age, our hormones change, so what is normal at 25 years differs from the normal at 60 years. Your results will take into account your age and reproductive stage to determine if your hormone levels are within the normal ranges.
Hormonal imbalances can have a broad impact on overall health and prevent you from feeling your best. Take this test today to help identify the cause of your health issues and get your health back on track.
Symptoms of hormonal imbalances
Irregular or heavy periods
Difficulty conceiving
Fatigue
Unexplained weight gain or weight loss
Acne or oily hair
Low sex drive
Excessive hair or thinning of hair
Depression or anxiety
What’s included in the Women’s Hormone Test?

Follicle-Stimulating Hormone (FSH)
FSH stimulates the development of the follicle (which houses the egg) during the first half of the menstrual cycle. At mid cycle, FSH together with LH stimulates the release of one mature egg during ovulation. FSH levels fluctuate during each menstrual cycle in women of reproductive age, and typically remain high in menopause.
Elevated FSH levels are an indication of subfertility, and can occur due to premature menopause, poor ovarian reserve, or gonadal dysgenesis. Low FSH levels can also be an indication of infertility. There are various conditions that affect FSH levels, including polycystic ovarian syndrome, stress, anorexia, Turner’s syndrome, and poorly functioning pituitary gland.

Luteinizing Hormone (LH)
LH is released by the pituitary gland and plays a role in ovulation (the release of a mature egg from the ovary). LH peaks mid menstrual cycle and triggers the release of the egg, as well as the development of the corpus luteum, which goes on to produce progesterone necessary to maintain a pregnancy.
Persistently high LH levels may be a sign of premature menopause, Turner syndrome, ovarian tumour, polycystic ovary syndrome, or an autoimmune disorder. Elevated LH levels have also been associated with a reduced fertilization rate in a variety of studies, as well as increased risk of miscarriage. Diminished LH levels can lead to hypogonadism (gonadal function failure), which can cause amenorrhea (absence of menstruation) and reduced fertility.

Prolactin
Prolactin is a hormone produced in the pituitary gland and various other sites elsewhere in the body, including the brain, placenta, uterus, mammary gland, and lymphocytes of the immune system. Prolactin was named based on its function of promoting milk production (lactation), but it is now known to also have over 300 other functions in the body.
Hyperprolactinaemia (elevated prolactin) is a common cause of amenorrhoea (absence of menstruation) and is one of the most prevalent endocrine causes of female infertility. It can also lead to galactorrhea (milky nipple discharge), decreased libido, and decreased bone mass.

Estradiol
Estradiol is the main female sex hormone, with a primary role in the maturity and maintenance of the reproductive system. It is also responsible for the development of secondary female sexual characteristics, cholesterol regulation, skin health, and protection from bone loss. During each menstrual cycle, estradiol levels increase to trigger the maturation and release of the egg, and the thickening of the uterus lining to allow a fertilized egg to implant.
Abnormal estradiol levels can affect fertility, and can lead to irregular menstrual cycles, low sex drive, sleep issues, anxiety, and fatigue. Abnormal estradiol levels may also be a sign of menopause, hyperthyroidism, liver damage, or ovarian tumours.
