Menopause Hormone Profile

£128.88

This profile examines the levels of hormones associated with menopause and the thyroid. It provides a comprehensive assessment of female-specific hormones, aiding in the understanding of menopause, menstrual issues, and the monitoring of hormone replacement therapy. Additionally, it identifies the expected hormonal changes during the onset of menopause.

 

Conditions identified by this test:

 

Hormones

The human body relies on a multitude of hormones to support various bodily functions and processes, including growth, metabolism, appetite, and fertility. Hormone imbalances or deficiencies can manifest in diverse symptoms and contribute to various conditions. Therefore, understanding the status of these hormones is crucial for a comprehensive evaluation.

 

Oestradiol

Oestradiol, a form of estrogen, is the primary female hormone produced by non-pregnant women. This hormone plays a pivotal role in the development of female physical features and reproductive functions. Oestradiol tests are specifically designed to assess ovarian functions, making them highly useful in evaluating fertility-related concerns. Furthermore, they can aid in diagnosing the underlying causes of precocious or delayed puberty in girls. Additionally, oestradiol tests are employed to monitor hormone replacement therapy in women during the peri-menopausal and menopausal stages.

 

Follicular Stimulating Hormone (FSH)

FSH is a reproductive hormone produced by the pituitary gland in the brain. Its primary function is to stimulate the growth and development of unfertilized eggs during the menstrual cycle in women. Furthermore, FSH initiates the production of crucial sex hormones like oestradiol and progesterone. In men, FSH plays a significant role in the stimulation of sperm production. To assess fertility issues and pituitary gland disorders, FSH levels are often tested alongside other sex hormones such as LH, testosterone, oestradiol, and progesterone in both men and women.

 

Luteinizing Hormone (LH)

LH is another reproductive hormone produced by the pituitary gland in the brain. In females, LH plays a crucial role in regulating the menstrual cycle and ovulation by stimulating the ovaries to produce other reproductive hormones. In males, LH acts as a stimulator and controller of testosterone production. The LH test is particularly valuable in determining any potential reproductive problems that may be affecting your health and fertility.

 

Thyroid (1 Biomarker)

Thyroid disorders are common but often go undiagnosed. When the thyroid gland malfunctions, it can lead to tiredness, mood issues, and weight problems.

 

Thyroid Stimulating Hormone (TSH)

TSH is produced by the pituitary gland in the brain to stimulate the thyroid gland located in the throat. TSH regulates weight, body temperature, and muscle strength. Measuring TSH levels helps identify thyroid diseases and is commonly tested alongside Free T4 and Free T3.
