A little more detail:

The Female Hormone Panel test is a comprehensive blood test designed to assess levels of various hormones that play crucial roles in women’s reproductive health, menstrual cycle regulation, and overall well-being. This panel helps diagnose hormonal imbalances that can affect menstrual cycles, fertility, and symptoms of conditions like polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) or menopause.

Key components typically included in a Female Hormone Panel are:

1. Estrogen: This includes various forms, primarily estradiol, which is essential for regulating the menstrual cycle, maintaining reproductive health, and supporting bone density.

2. Progesterone: Produced in the ovaries, progesterone prepares the uterus for potential pregnancy and regulates the menstrual cycle.

3. Luteinizing Hormone (LH): This hormone triggers ovulation and is critical for reproductive function.

4. Follicle-Stimulating Hormone (FSH): FSH stimulates the growth of ovarian follicles and is important for egg development.

5. Testosterone: Though typically considered a male hormone, testosterone is present in women and plays a role in libido and energy levels.

6. Dehydroepiandrosterone sulfate (DHEAS): This hormone contributes to the production of estrogen and testosterone and can impact energy levels and mood.

The Female Hormone Panel is essential for diagnosing conditions related to hormonal imbalances, guiding treatment options, and monitoring reproductive health throughout different life stages, including menstruation, pregnancy, and menopause. Regular testing can help women maintain hormonal balance and overall health.
