COMPREHENSIVE FEMALE HORMONE PROFILE
This test is also suitable for anyone who would like to investigate their health for overall wellbeing. This provides valuable insight into hormone health and help assess whether hormonal imbalances are contributing to your symptoms, such as acne, fatigue, low sex drive, mood changes, hot flushes and weight changes or other related health issues.
By measuring LH (Luteinising Hormone), FSH (Follicle Stimulating Hormone), LH:FS ratio, Prolactin, Oestradiol, Progesterone, Testosterone, DHEA-S, SHBG (Sex Hormone-Binding Globulin) and Free Androgen Index, our Hormone Profile will help to track your hormone levels if you’re working to bring them back into balance. Measuring DHEA-S gives an extra level of insight into hormonal health. It impacts testosterone, oestrogen and IGF-1 (Insulin Growth Factor-1), and elevated levels in women can result in amenorrhea, deeper voice, hirsutism, increase in muscle mass and more, while low levels can cause symptoms such as acne, fatigue, low sex drive, mood changes and hot flushes. £89
