Description

What should I expect from the Fertility Hormones Profile?

This Fertility Hormones Profile is a home test that examines the levels of important hormones associated with fertility, menopause, menstrual issues, and other hormone-related conditions. Hormone imbalances or deficiencies can contribute to a wide range of symptoms and health conditions, and this test aims to identify such imbalances that may impact your fertility.

The test focuses on evaluating the following hormones:

1. Oestradiol: Oestradiol is a type of estrogen and the primary female hormone produced by non-pregnant women. It plays a crucial role in the development of female physical characteristics and reproductive functions. Oestradiol tests are utilized to assess ovarian functions and diagnose the causes of early or delayed puberty in girls. Additionally, it helps monitor hormone replacement therapy in peri-menopausal and menopausal women.
2. Follicle-Stimulating Hormone (FSH): FSH is a reproductive hormone secreted by the pituitary gland in the brain. It stimulates the growth and development of unfertilized eggs during the menstrual cycle in women, and it initiates the production of sex hormones like oestradiol and progesterone. FSH is also involved in stimulating sperm production in men. Testing FSH levels, alongside other sex hormones such as LH, testosterone, oestradiol, and progesterone, aids in diagnosing infertility and pituitary gland disorders in both men and women.
3. Luteinizing Hormone (LH): LH is another reproductive hormone produced by the pituitary gland. In females, it regulates the menstrual cycle and ovulation by stimulating the ovaries to produce other reproductive hormones. In males, LH plays a role in stimulating and controlling testosterone production. The LH test is used to identify any reproductive issues.
4. Prolactin: Prolactin is a hormone produced by the pituitary gland that plays a primary role in promoting lactation (breast milk production) in women during and after pregnancy. A prolactin test is useful in diagnosing infertility in both men and women, as well as menstrual problems and erectile dysfunction.
