Which hormones are analysed in the Women's Hormone Test? Cortisol Estrogen (specifically estradiol, E2) Progesterone DHEA Testosterone Progesterone / estrogen ratio Common symptoms of hormonal imbalances Mood swings, depression, PMS, irregular periods, PCOS, infertility, menopausal symptoms, endometriosis, low libido, tender breasts, heavy periods, brain fog, impaired memory, weight gain, osteoporosis, vaginal dryness, headache, loose stools before and during menstruation and more. DHEA Dehydroepiandrosterone (DHEA), also known as androstenolone, is a hormone that can be converted to both testosterone and estrogen and is such a powerful hormone that it is classified as performance enhancing drug in excessive doses. With this in mind, we can see why it is so important for both men and women. Normally, DHEA is at its highest when we are in our 20s and then decreases gradually over the years after 30 and beyond. DHEA affects our mental and physical performance, energy, potency, memory, muscle mass, skin, body odor, bone mass, the development of puberty, helps keep us young and healthy. Cortisol This test analyses your value of cortisol in the morning. If you want to measure diurnal cortisol, we recommend the Cortisol Test which is collected 7 times throughout the day. Cortisol is a stress hormone and is released when we are exposed to physical or mental stress. Cortisol is produced in the adrenal glands and helps you to perform better physically and mentally in the "acute stress situation". Neither too high nor too low cortisol is good. Estrogen Women's Hormone Test measures estradiol (E2) and the ratio between estradiol and progesterone. Estradiol is considered the most important of the estrogens and is known as the fertility hormone for women. Progesterone Progesterone is primarily a female sex hormone that affects our fertility. It is a precursor to the sex hormones testosterone, estrogen and cortisol and important for the central nervous system. Altered levels of progesterone can cause imbalances in other hormones and affect key functions in consciousness, cognition and mood. Progesterone levels vary during the menstrual cycle and increase after ovulation. Testosterone While many recognize testosterone as a male hormone, women also produce and need it, albeit in smaller amounts than men. Women rely on testosterone for energy, libido (sex drive), and muscle building, to name a few roles. Women with PCOS often have elevated testosterone levels. The function of hormones Progesterone plays a role in the brain, collagen production, fertility, concentration, bone mass, sleep and more. Estrogen plays a role in fertility, skin and hair, sleep and more. Testosterone plays a role in energy, endurance, muscle strength, libido and more. DHEA plays a role in metabolism, libido, memory, the immune system, the cardiovascular system, stress and more. Cortisol plays a role in stress, blood sugar regulation, energy homeostasis and more. This test is suitable for you who want to get an overall picture of your hormones and measure your cortisol. If you are a man, you should instead choose the test Men's Hormone Test . How does the Women's Hormone Test function? You perform this saliva test at home, collecting samples twice in a day. Take the first sample right after waking up and the second one 30 minutes later. If you menstruate, collect the sample about a week after ovulation, typically around day 21 of your cycle, considering normal ovulation occurs around days 12-14. However, if you're in or beyond menopause, you can still take the test. After collecting, send the samples to our lab. You'll get your results online.
