Overview of the Hormonal Health
The Hormonal Health profile is an 11-marker blood test designed to assess reproductive hormones, androgen production, pituitary signalling and the amount of Testosterone available to tissues.
The test contains 11 biomarkers: Free Testosterone, Total Testosterone, DHEA-S, Prolactin, Free Androgen Index, Sex Hormone Binding Globulin, Progesterone, Oestradiol, Luteinizing Hormone, FSH and Albumin.
Sex hormones are regulated through a complex interaction between the hypothalamus, pituitary gland, ovaries or testes and adrenal glands.
Total Testosterone measures overall circulating Testosterone, while Sex Hormone Binding Globulin and Albumin affect the proportion that remains biologically available.
Free Testosterone and the Free Androgen Index provide additional information about androgen availability.
DHEA-S is produced predominantly by the adrenal glands and can help provide information about adrenal androgen production.
Luteinizing Hormone and FSH are pituitary hormones involved in regulating ovarian and testicular function.
Oestradiol and Progesterone are central reproductive hormones whose concentrations change significantly throughout the menstrual cycle.
Prolactin is produced by the pituitary gland and can influence fertility, menstrual function and Testosterone production when significantly elevated.
Because many of these markers change according to age, sex, menstrual cycle, menopause status, pregnancy, medication and hormone treatment, results should always be interpreted in context.
What Does the Hormonal Health Test Check?
The profile examines several connected areas of endocrine function, including androgen availability, adrenal androgen production, pituitary signalling and ovarian or testicular hormone activity. This test contains 11 biomarkers.
Free Testosterone - Assesses the fraction of Testosterone available to tissues and can provide additional information when Total Testosterone alone does not reflect symptoms.
Total Testosterone - Measures the overall concentration of Testosterone circulating in the blood.
DHEA-S - Measures an androgen produced predominantly by the adrenal glands and helps assess adrenal contribution to androgen production.
Free Androgen Index - Provides a calculated estimate of androgen availability using Testosterone and Sex Hormone Binding Globulin.
Sex Hormone Binding Globulin - Measures the major blood protein that binds Testosterone and Oestradiol.
Albumin - Measures a circulating protein that also binds Testosterone more loosely and contributes to Free Testosterone calculations.
Prolactin - Measures a pituitary hormone that influences reproductive function, lactation and gonadal hormone signalling.
Luteinizing Hormone - Measures a pituitary hormone involved in ovulation in women and Testosterone production in men.
FSH - Measures Follicle Stimulating Hormone, which contributes to ovarian follicle development and sperm production.
Progesterone - Measures a reproductive hormone that rises after ovulation and plays an important role in the menstrual cycle and pregnancy.
Oestradiol - Measures a principal Oestrogen involved in reproductive, sexual and bone health.
Who May Benefit From the Hormonal Health Test?
This profile may be useful when symptoms suggest a reproductive, androgen or pituitary hormone imbalance, or when hormone treatment requires broader biochemical monitoring.
Women with irregular menstrual cycles - FSH, LH, Oestradiol, Progesterone and Prolactin can provide information about reproductive hormone signalling.
Women with absent periods - Hormonal testing can help distinguish ovarian from hypothalamic or pituitary causes.
Women undergoing fertility assessment - Several included hormones contribute directly to ovulation and ovarian function.
Women with symptoms of androgen excess - Testosterone, DHEA-S, SHBG and the Free Androgen Index can provide useful information.
People experiencing menopausal or perimenopausal changes - Hormone results can provide context, although menopause is frequently diagnosed clinically.
Men with symptoms suggestive of Testosterone deficiency - Total Testosterone, Free Testosterone and SHBG provide a more complete androgen assessment.
Men with fertility concerns - FSH, LH and Testosterone provide information about testicular endocrine signalling.
People with a previous raised Prolactin result - Repeat testing and broader endocrine assessment may be appropriate.
People receiving clinically supervised HRT or TRT - Hormone measurements can provide objective information during treatment monitoring.
Symptoms and Reasons to Consider the Hormonal Health Test
Hormonal symptoms can overlap considerably with other medical conditions, so testing is most useful when several symptoms or clinical findings suggest a possible endocrine cause.
Irregular or absent menstrual periods - Reproductive hormone disturbances can affect cycle regularity.
Difficulty conceiving - Ovulatory, ovarian, pituitary and androgen factors can contribute to fertility problems.
Low libido - Sex-hormone abnormalities are one possible contributor in women and men.
Erectile difficulties with suspected low Testosterone - Testosterone assessment can form part of the investigation.
Excess facial or body hair in women - Increased androgen activity can contribute to hirsutism.
Persistent acne with other androgenic symptoms - Testosterone or adrenal androgen abnormalities may be relevant.
Hot flushes and changing menstrual patterns - These commonly occur during the menopausal transition.
Unexpected milk production - Raised Prolactin is one possible cause of galactorrhoea.
Reduced muscle mass or strength with possible Testosterone deficiency - Androgen assessment may be appropriate.
Symptoms developing during hormone treatment - Testing can help establish the biochemical hormone pattern during HRT or TRT.
These symptoms are not specific to hormone abnormalities and should not be diagnosed from one laboratory marker alone.
Rapid virilisation, severe headaches with visual symptoms, unexpected neurological changes or other significant endocrine symptoms require appropriate medical assessment.
How to Prepare
Preparation depends partly on whether the main clinical question concerns Testosterone, ovulation, fertility or another reproductive hormone because several markers vary with timing.
Do not stop prescribed hormonal treatment solely to alter the laboratory results.
For repeat monitoring, maintaining consistent collection timing and medication timing makes hormonal trends more meaningful.

When Will I Receive My Results?
The current expected turnaround for the Hormonal Health profile is approximately 1–2 business days after laboratory receipt.
Most included hormones are routinely available endocrine measurements and can be analysed relatively quickly.
The profile is considered complete once the measured hormones and required calculated values have undergone quality control and laboratory authorisation.
Turnaround begins when the sample reaches the laboratory rather than necessarily at the time of your appointment.
Occasional repeat analysis, weekends, bank holidays or sample-quality concerns can extend the reporting period.
Understanding Your Results
Hormonal Health results cannot be interpreted using one universal range because sex, age, menstrual-cycle phase and hormone treatment substantially alter expected concentrations.
In women, FSH, Luteinizing Hormone, Oestradiol and Progesterone vary during the menstrual cycle.
Progesterone is particularly dependent on timing relative to ovulation.
In men, Total Testosterone should usually be interpreted alongside Sex Hormone Binding Globulin and Free Testosterone.
A Total Testosterone concentration can appear satisfactory while Free Testosterone is relatively low if SHBG is high.
DHEA-S provides additional information about adrenal androgen production and may be particularly useful when women have hirsutism, acne or other androgenic symptoms.
Raised Prolactin can occur because of pregnancy, medication, stress, hypothyroidism or pituitary disease.
No individual result should therefore be interpreted without the complete hormone pattern and relevant clinical information.
Why Book With London Blood Tests?
This profile combines several important reproductive and androgen markers within one private blood test, making it suitable for a broad hormone assessment rather than a single-hormone measurement.
Eleven complementary hormone markers - Pituitary, reproductive and androgen pathways are assessed together.
Total and Free Testosterone assessment - The profile provides greater context than Total Testosterone alone.
SHBG and Free Androgen Index included - Hormone availability can be assessed rather than relying solely on total concentrations.
Adrenal androgen assessment - DHEA-S provides information about adrenal androgen production.
Useful for women and men - The profile covers ovarian, testicular and pituitary hormone signalling.
