Female Hormone Test 

This comprehensive blood test evaluates the balance of key reproductive and metabolic hormones in women. It helps assess menstrual irregularities, fertility issues, menopausal status, symptoms of hormonal imbalance, and response to hormone therapy.

​

Who Should Get Tested?

This panel is recommended for women who experience:

• Irregular or absent periods

• Infertility or difficulty conceiving

• Mood swings, anxiety, or depression

• Fatigue or low libido

• Weight gain or acne

• Hair thinning or excessive facial/body hair

• Menopausal symptoms (e.g., hot flashes, night sweats)

It is also useful for evaluating perimenopause, PCOS (polycystic ovary syndrome), or hormone replacement therapy response.

​

What is Premenopause?

Premenopause refers to the entire period in a woman's life before she reaches menopause. During this time, a woman still has regular menstrual cycles and is capable of becoming pregnant. Hormone levels, especially estrogen and progesterone, are generally stable—although subtle changes may begin in the years leading up to menopause.

​

When Does It Start?

Premenopause typically covers a woman’s reproductive years, beginning with the first period (menarche) and lasting until the early stages of hormonal fluctuation, usually around the late 30s to early 40s.

The transition phase that follows premenopause is called perimenopause, which can begin around age 35–45 and lasts until menopause is complete.

​

Why Hormonal Symptoms May Appear in Late Premenopause:

• Starting in the late 30s or early 40s, ovarian function begins to fluctuate.

• Progesterone is often the first hormone to decline, leading to an imbalance with estrogen.

• This hormonal shift may result in symptoms even while periods remain regular.

​

Common Symptoms That May Suggest Late Premenopause:

• Shorter or irregular menstrual cycles

• Heavier or lighter periods

• Breast tenderness

• Mood swings or irritability

• Sleep disturbances

• Fatigue

• Anxiety or depression

• Lower libido

• Bloating or weight changes

• Increased PMS symptoms
