Female Hormone Profile

Are you seeking specialized healthcare services tailored to your unique hormonal requirements? At South Kensington MD, we recognise that women’s health necessitates personalised care. For this reason, our Female Hormone Profile service provides the understanding and guidance you require to boost your hormonal well-being.

Understanding Female Hormones

Female hormones such as estrogen and progesterone, among others, play a vital role in every stage of a woman’s life, starting from puberty, fertility, menopause, and even beyond. The hormones have a significant impact when it comes to overall health. Any imbalances or fluctuations in these hormones may result in various physical and emotional symptoms that affect your everyday life.

Importance of Female Hormone Profile

The Female Hormone Profile at South Kensington MD involves a thorough evaluation that enables our professional GPs to assess your hormonal health correctly. This service is important for all women at different life stages, including:

Puberty and adolescence

We strive to assist young women in understanding hormonal changes, managing irregular menstrual cycles, and dealing with concerns such as mood swings, acne, and extreme hair growth.

Fertility and reproductive health

Our Female Hormone Profile can help determine any imbalances hindering fertility for women attempting to conceive. We will closely work with you to elevate your hormone levels and increase your odds of becoming pregnant.

Menopause and perimenopause

Hormonal changes may trigger symptoms such as mood swings, hot flashes, and sleep disturbances as women approach menopause. Our profile will thus help create a tailored treatment plan to effectively manage these symptoms and enhance your overall health.

Hormonal health and wellness

Hormonal imbalances are likely to impact general health at any time in life, leading to problems like weight gain, exhaustion, and mood changes. Luckily, our clinic offers Female Hormone Profiles to anyone seeking an all-inclusive evaluation of their hormonal well-being to address these concerns.

Understanding Hormone Test Results

Luteinizing hormone (LH) test results

LH is highly important during the menstrual cycle. Produced by the pituitary gland, LH signals the ovaries to release an egg, with levels typically rising high just before ovulation. Testing LH can help determine the cause of infertility and pinpoint the timing of ovulation. It can also indicate whether you’re entering perimenopause or menopause. Elevated LH levels may be linked to conditions like Turner syndrome or PCOS, both of which can lead to infertility. Low LH levels may point to problems with the pituitary gland.

Follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH) test results

FSH regulates the menstrual cycle and egg production in the ovaries. FSH levels vary throughout the menstrual cycle, peaking right before ovulation. Produced by the pituitary gland, FSH levels rise as menopause approaches while other hormone levels decline. Testing for FSH is important to diagnose the onset of menopause, pituitary gland tumors, abnormal menstrual bleeding, ovarian function problems, and infertility.

Prolactin

Prolactin, which is released by the pituitary gland, primarily stimulates milk production following childbirth. On the other hand, it also plays a role in regulating reproductive health in both men and women. Elevated prolactin levels may contribute to menstrual cycle issues in women, erectile dysfunction in men, and fertility problems in both sexes.

Oestrogen blood test

Oestrogen, the primary female sex hormone, is crucial for the development of secondary sex features and the regulation of the female reproductive system. There are three types of estrogen: oestriol, oestradiol, and oestrone, with oestradiol being the most active and commonly measured. It plays a significant role in ovulation, pregnancy, and conception, and levels normally decline as menopause approaches. Oestradiol also impacts the bones, skin, fat, and other areas of the body.

Testing for oestradiol can help determine if menopause has begun and identify other disorders. High levels of oestradiol may contribute to issues like fatigue, low sex drive, and obesity, while low levels may signal reduced pituitary function, PCOS, or anorexia.
