At Medical Express Clinic, we understand that a woman's health is unique and requires tailored care. Our Female Hormone Profile service is designed to provide you with the insights and guidance you need to optimise your hormonal health.

Understanding Female Hormones

Female hormones play a crucial role in various aspects of a woman's life, from puberty and fertility to menopause and beyond. These hormones, including estrogen, progesterone, and others, have a profound impact on your overall well-being. Imbalances or fluctuations in these hormones can lead to a range of physical and emotional symptoms, affecting your quality of life.

The Importance of Female Hormone Profiling

Our Female Hormone Profile is a comprehensive assessment that allows our expert healthcare providers to evaluate your hormonal health accurately. This service is essential for women at various stages of life:

1. Puberty and Adolescence: We can help adolescents understand their hormonal changes, manage irregular menstrual cycles, and address issues like acne, mood swings, and excessive hair growth.
2. Fertility and Reproductive Health: For women trying to conceive, our Female Hormone Profile can identify any hormonal imbalances that might be hindering their ability to become pregnant. We can work with you to optimize your hormone levels and improve your chances of a successful pregnancy.
3. Menopause and Perimenopause: As women enter menopause, hormonal changes can lead to symptoms like hot flashes, mood swings, and sleep disturbances. Our Female Hormone Profile can help us develop a personalized treatment plan to manage these symptoms and improve your overall well-being.
4. Hormonal Health and Wellness: Even outside these specific life stages, hormone imbalances can affect your general health and quality of life. We offer Female Hormone Profiles for women seeking a comprehensive assessment of their hormonal health to address issues such as fatigue, weight gain, and mood changes.

Hormone Test Results Explained

LH test results

Luteinising hormone (LH) plays a vital role in the menstrual cycle. The brain’s pituitary gland produces the luteinising hormone, and LH sends the signal that tells your ovary to release an egg. LH levels are usually high before ovulation.

Testing your LH can aid in diagnosing the reason for being unable to conceive and when you ovulate, but it can also identify whether you have started perimenopause or menopause. High levels of Turner syndrome or PCOS are linked to high levels of luteinising hormones, which can cause infertility. Low levels of LH may indicate an issue with the pituitary gland.

FSH test results

Follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH) mostly controls the menstrual cycle and when the ovaries produce eggs. FSH levels in the body usually vary during the menstrual cycle and are highest before ovulation.

The brain’s pituitary gland produces FSH, and the body produces more of these hormones as menopause begins, and other hormone levels will start decreasing. It is important to get tested because the result can diagnose the start of menopause, tumours on the pituitary glands, ovarian function issues, abnormal menstrual bleeding, and infertility.

Prolactin

Prolactin is a hormone produced by the pituitary gland, primarily involved in stimulating milk production after childbirth. However, it has several other functions in both men and women, including the regulation of reproductive health. This test is commonly used to investigate issues related to the menstrual cycle in women, fertility problems in both sexes, and erectile dysfunction in men.'

Oestrogen blood test

Oestrogen is the female sex hormone that controls the development and regulation of secondary sex characteristics and the female reproductive system.

Oestrogen has three types in the body. They include oestriol, oestradiol, and oestrone. Oestradiol is the most commonly measured of these three hormones because it is the most active oestrogen hormone and has the most significant importance.

The ovary produces more oestradiol, but the testes and adrenal cortex also produce this oestrogen hormone. Oestradiol significantly affects ovulation, pregnancy, and conception, and as you approach menopause, the level gradually declines.

However, oestradiol also affects the bones, fat, skin, and other body parts. Testing for oestradiol helps check whether menopause has started, but it is vital in several other conditions. High oestradiol may cause sex drive issues, fatigue, and obesity. In most cases, low oestradiol levels indicate decreased pituitary function, anorexia, or PCOS.
