Hormone Profile Test

Hormones are essential for the proper functioning of the body since they influence various biological processes as well as mechanisms. Your hormone levels naturally change throughout your lifetime. Nevertheless, abnormal hormone levels are linked to different diseases, such as diabetes and thyroid disorders. These imbalances can also significantly impact your health, fertility, weight, and mood in both men and women.

At Southkenmd.co.uk Clinic, we offer a comprehensive range of hormone testing services. These tests are crucial for identifying the root cause of the symptoms you’re experiencing, leading to a more accurate diagnosis and, eventually, more effective treatments.

Hormone Level Changes

It’s normal for hormone levels to fluctuate slightly, but significant or extreme changes can be harmful. These imbalances can lead to various health issues, including infertility, reproductive problems, hair loss, insomnia, mood swings and abnormal growth and development.

Hormonal imbalances also impact energy levels, alter cell and tissue functions, and can affect the appearance and performance of different body systems. Additionally, they may weaken the immune system.

The endocrine system that includes vital glands such as the pancreas, pituitary, and thyroid, is responsible for producing and regulating hormones in the body.

Male Hormone Profile

Tests in the male hormone profile include follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH), luteinizing hormone (LH), sex hormone binding globulin (SHBG), prolactin, free androgen index, glucose, progesterone and dehydroepiandrosterone sulfate (DHEA sulfate). These tests help doctors address issues like fatigue, reduced sex drive, mood changes, erectile dysfunction, and male cancers, among others.

We recommend undergoing a male hormone profile test if you have a history of steroid use, adrenal gland conditions like congenital adrenal hyperplasia, testicular tumors or if you are 40 years of age or above.

Female Hormone Profile

Female hormone profile tests involve testing for hormones like follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH), luteinizing hormone (LH), sex hormone binding globulin (SHBG), prolactin, progesterone, testosterone, free androgen index, and oestradiol. Medical professionals often use these tests to understand and address issues such as development delay, fatigue, infertility, menopause, skin, weight, hair or mood changes and polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS).

It is advisable to undergo a female hormone profile blood test if you are in your menopausal years, struggling with conception or maintaining a pregnancy, or having symptoms like irregular menstrual periods, vaginal dryness, abnormal vaginal bleeding, acne or unusual hair growth.
