With this service, we'll examine the full spectrum of male hormones, to learn more about fertility, sports supplements, and other hormone-related concerns. It is available at our wellness clinics in Milton Keynes and around the UK.
Various hormone types contribute to different bodily functions and processes, such as growth, metabolism, appetite, and fertility. Hormone imbalances or deficiencies may be responsible for a wide range of symptoms and conditions.
Oestradiol is a form of estrogen and 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.
Follicular Stimulating Hormone (FSH) is a reproductive hormone generated by the brain's pituitary gland. 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.
Testosterone is a steroid hormone produced by the male testes and adrenal glands in both men and women. The production of this hormone is stimulated and controlled by luteinizing hormone. During puberty, boys produce large amounts of testosterone, leading to body hair growth and muscle development. Testosterone regulates the male sex drive and maintains muscle mass. In females, a small amount of testosterone is produced in the ovaries. Testosterone tests help diagnose various conditions, such as erectile dysfunction and infertility in men.
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.
Sex Hormone Binding Globulin (SHBG) is a protein produced by the liver. Its main function is to bind and transport hormones like oestradiol, testosterone, and dihydrotestosterone in the blood. The SHBG test is used to diagnose testosterone deficiency in men and investigate testosterone production in women.
Free Testosterone Calculation measures the amount of free testosterone in the body. It is a steroid hormone produced by the male testes and adrenal glands in both men and women. It regulates the male sex drive and maintains muscle mass. Free testosterone calculation is used to diagnose various conditions, such as erectile dysfunction and infertility in men.
DHEA-Sulfate is a male sex hormone found in both males and females. It is primarily produced in the adrenal glands, with small amounts generated in the male testes and female ovaries. DHEA-Sulfate helps control body functions like heart rate and blood pressure and is essential in the production of sex hormones, testosterone, and estrogen. DHEA-Sulfate levels are measured to diagnose adrenal gland tumors or disorders of the testicles or ovaries.
The Free Androgen Index is a ratio employed to determine androgen levels. Androgens, including testosterone, are hormones present in both men and women. These hormones aid in the development of sexual organs and the production of the female hormone estrogen. The Free Androgen Index is utilised in the diagnosis of a variety of conditions, such as male infertility.
