Understanding Female Hormone Mapping
Female hormone mapping is a comprehensive diagnostic service that tracks key hormone levels throughout your menstrual cycle or at specific points to evaluate your overall hormonal health. It can help detect imbalances or irregularities that might be causing issues such as fatigue, anxiety, weight gain, PMS, irregular periods, acne, or low libido.
This service offers a vital look at how your hormones fluctuate and interact—empowering you to take control of your health, naturally and holistically.
What is Female Hormone Mapping?
Female hormone mapping involves:
Collecting saliva, blood, or urine samples across specific days of your cycle
Testing key hormones such as oestrogen, progesterone, testosterone, DHEA, FSH, LH, and cortisol
Tracking fluctuations to create a full hormonal profile
Analysing results to identify imbalances or underlying conditions
This type of testing is particularly useful for identifying issues such as:
PMS or PMDD
Perimenopause or menopause
PCOS or irregular cycles
Fertility challenges
Chronic fatigue or mood disorders
Some clinics also offer DUTCH (Dried Urine Test for Comprehensive Hormones) testing for even deeper insight.
