The Female Hormone Profile is a test that analyses the levels of specific hormones in a woman's body that help regulate various functions in the body, including the menstrual cycle, fertility, and overall health.
This test specifically focuses on hormones that are important for female reproductive health, such as oestrogen, luteinising hormone, follicle stimulating hormone and prolactin.
By measuring these hormone levels, this profile can give valuable information about your hormonal balance and overall reproductive health.
It can help identify any hormonal imbalances that may be causing irregular periods, fertility issues, or other reproductive problems.
Additionally, this test can also be used to monitor hormone levels during hormone replacement therapy or to assess the effectiveness of certain medications.
This test can be analysed on a finger-prick home sample as well as a phlebotomy sample.
Hormones are biochemical substances produced by various glands in the body, forming a part of the endocrine system. They are secreted directly into the bloodstream and travel to specific organs or tissues where they exert their effects.
Hormones act as chemical messengers and play a crucial role in regulating many physiological processes in the body.
Laboratory results are provided with reference ranges which are based on the normal test results of a large group of healthy people from the same age group and gender as yourself.
Sometimes, healthy people get results outside the reference range, while people with health problems can have results in the normal range. If your results fall outside the reference range, or if you have symptoms despite a normal result, you may require more testing or wish to discuss the result with your GP.
For simplicity, we provided your results graphically, so they are easy to understand. Any result flagged amber is outside of the standard range. Normal results are in green.
If you see ‘invalid result’ on any of your report pages, it’s nothing to worry about.
