Female Serum Hormones Advanced Profile

Overview:

Serum testing of sex hormones can be used to determine circulating endogenous hormone levels in women who are not using topical or vaginal hormone supplementation (see the dried blood spot or saliva testing options for women using hormone therapy). The Advanced Profile provides a broader overview of the health and balance of sex and thyroid hormones and includes pituitary hormones that control ovarian production of the sex hormones and help define menopausal status. Iron status, important for thyroid health, is assessed with ferritin measurement.
