This female hormone panel measures follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH), luteinizing hormone (LH), estradiol, total testosterone, unconjugated DHEA, thyroid stimulating hormone (TSH), and prolactin total levels in the blood. Your hormone levels are always fluctuating and can affect your menstrual cycle, mood, metabolism, fertility, and sleep and body processes. Imbalances in these hormones may be a reason for irregular periods, problems with ovulation, fertility issues, and other underlying conditions, like PCOS.
Polycystic Ovary Syndrome (PCOS) is the most common hormonal disorder among women of reproductive age, but many women don’t know they have it. It affects about one in 15 women, and an estimated 75% of females with PCOS remain undiagnosed. Understanding your hormone levels may help you and your healthcare provider to identify next steps for handling any symptoms you may be experiencing.
With Quest, you can buy a basic women's hormone panel blood test online and get testing at a nearby location – no doctor’s visit required.
