7. Female & Male Hormonal Profiles Test

Estradiol levels fluctuate during a woman’s menstrual cycle and are at their highest during the ovulation period. This test can be used to help diagnose or monitor a range of conditions related to the reproductive system, such as:

• Irregular menstrual periods
• Fertility issues
• Menopause symptoms
• Polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS)
• Thyroid disorders
• Ovarian tumors

A healthcare provider may recommend an FSH test for women for several reasons, including:

1. To evaluate fertility
2. To diagnose polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS)
3. To monitor treatment for infertility: Women undergoing fertility treatments,
4. To evaluate menstrual cycle irregularities

The Luteinizing Hormone (LH) test is a blood or urine test that measures the levels of luteinizing hormone in the body. LH is a hormone that plays an important role in the reproductive system, particularly in the regulation of the menstrual cycle and ovulation in women.

An LH test is often used to determine the timing of ovulation and to monitor fertility treatments. In men, an LH test can help diagnose conditions such as hypogonadism, a condition where the testes do not produce enough testosterone.

The Prolactin test is a blood test that measures the levels of prolactin in the body. Prolactin is a hormone produced by the pituitary gland that is involved in a variety of functions, including breast milk production and regulation of the menstrual cycle.

In women, high levels of prolactin can cause a variety of symptoms, such as irregular menstrual periods, milk production when not pregnant or breastfeeding, and infertility. Therefore, healthcare providers may recommend a prolactin test to help diagnose and monitor conditions such as hyperprolactinemia, pituitary tumors, and fertility issues.

In addition, the prolactin test may also be used to monitor the effectiveness of treatments for conditions such as hyperprolactinemia or prolactinomas, which are tumors that produce high levels of prolactin.

Thyroid Profile test is required in women to evaluate the functioning of the thyroid gland. The thyroid gland produces hormones that regulate the body’s metabolism, and abnormalities in thyroid hormone levels can cause a variety of symptoms, including weight changes, fatigue, and menstrual irregularities. The test measures levels of thyroid-stimulating hormone (TSH), free thyroxine (FT4), and triiodothyronine (FT3) to assess thyroid function and diagnose conditions such as hypothyroidism, hyperthyroidism, or thyroid nodules.
