Hormones
This service, available at our wellness clinics in Milton Keynes and around the UK, assesses the complete spectrum of female-specific hormones related to fertility, menopause, menstrual irregularities, and other hormone-associated concerns.
Numerous hormone types contribute to various body functions and processes, such as growth, metabolism, appetite, and fertility. Hormone imbalances or deficiencies could be responsible for an array of symptoms and conditions.
Oestradiol, a form of estrogen, is the primary female hormone produced by non-pregnant women. This hormone plays a crucial role in developing female physical characteristics and reproductive functions. Oestradiol tests help evaluate ovarian function, identify causes of early or delayed puberty in girls, and monitor hormone replacement therapy in perimenopausal and menopausal women.
Follicle-Stimulating Hormone (FSH) is a reproductive hormone generated by the brain's pituitary gland. In women, FSH stimulates the growth and maturation of unfertilised eggs during the menstrual cycle and initiates the production of sex hormones like oestradiol and progesterone. In men, FSH helps stimulate sperm production. FSH hormone tests, often combined with other sex hormones such as LH, testosterone, oestradiol, and progesterone, diagnose infertility and pituitary gland disorders in both men and women.
Luteinizing Hormone (LH) is a reproductive hormone produced by the brain's pituitary gland. In females, LH regulates the menstrual cycle and ovulation by prompting the ovaries to generate other reproductive hormones. In males, LH stimulates and controls testosterone production. The LH test is used to identify reproductive issues.
Prolactin is a hormone created by the brain's pituitary glands. Its primary function is to promote lactation (breast milk production) in women during pregnancy and postpartum. Prolactin tests help diagnose infertility in both men and women, as well as menstrual problems and erectile dysfunction.
