Estradiol (E2) is a form of estrogen, a hormone responsible for regulating reproductive and sexual function in women and also playing a role in bone health, hormonal imbalances and other bodily functions in both men and women. Monitoring estradiol levels is important for assessing hormonal balance, fertility, and conditions related to the reproductive system.

Progesterone is a hormone that plays a vital role in the menstrual cycle and pregnancy. Progesterone is used to evaluate various aspects of reproductive health. In women, progesterone is essential for regulating the menstrual cycle, preparing the uterine lining for implantation, and maintaining pregnancy. In men, progesterone contributes to hormone balance and is involved in the production of other hormones.

Cortisol levels are typically highest in the morning. Measuring cortisol before 10 AM helps assess adrenal gland function and the body's ability to manage stress, as well as diagnose conditions like adrenal insufficiency or Cushing's syndrome

Luteinizing Hormone (LH) is a hormone that plays a crucial role in reproductive health by regulating the menstrual cycle and ovulation in women and testosterone production in men. Measuring LH levels helps evaluate reproductive health and diagnose related disorders.

Prolactin is essential for stimulating milk production and regulating reproductive health. This test measures prolactin levels to diagnose conditions related to abnormal milk production, menstrual irregularities, or issues with the pituitary gland.

The Free Androgen Index (FAI) is a calculation used to estimate the amount of free, active testosterone in the body relative to sex hormone-binding globulin (SHBG). This test is important for evaluating androgen levels, especially in conditions like polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) or androgen excess.

The Free Testosterone test measures the level of free (unbound) testosterone in your blood. Free testosterone is the biologically active form of testosterone. Low free testosterone levels can indicate conditions such as hypogonadism or androgen deficiency. High free testosterone levels can suggest conditions such as polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) or testosterone supplementation.

Total testosterone measures the overall level of testosterone in the blood, including both bound and free forms. This test helps assess overall hormone levels, diagnose conditions related to testosterone imbalance, and evaluate issues such as low libido, fatigue, or symptoms of testosterone deficiency or excess.

Sex Hormone Binding Globulin (SHBG) is a protein that binds to sex hormones such as testosterone and estrogen, regulating their activity in the body. This test measures SHBG levels to help assess hormone balance and identify potential issues related to sexual health, metabolism, and endocrine function.

Anti-Mullerian Hormone (AMH) is a hormone produced by the ovarian follicles that reflects a woman's ovarian reserve, or the number of eggs she has left. Monitoring AMH levels is important for assessing fertility potential and understanding reproductive health, especially for women planning or delaying pregnancy.

Dehydroepiandrosterone Sulfate (DHEA-S) is a hormone produced by the adrenal glands that serves as a precursor to male and female sex hormones. Monitoring DHEA-S levels is important for evaluating adrenal function and understanding hormonal balance, especially in conditions related to aging, fertility, and certain adrenal disorders.

Estradiol (E2) is a form of estrogen, a hormone responsible for regulating reproductive and sexual function in women and also playing a role in bone health, hormonal imbalances and other bodily functions in both men and women. Monitoring estradiol levels is important for assessing hormonal balance, fertility, and conditions related to the reproductive system.
