Hormones in various women's health checks
Here are some of the aspects that a health check can tell you about your hormones:
Reproductive hormones
By analyzing hormones like estrogen and progesterone, a health check can provide information about your menstrual cycle and reproductive health. It can help identify any imbalances or issues.
Thyroid hormones
Thyroid hormones like TSH (thyroid-stimulating hormone) and T4 (thyroxine) can reveal if you have thyroid problems, such as hypothyroidism or hyperthyroidism, which can affect your metabolism and energy levels.
Sex hormones during pregnancy
If you are pregnant, a health check can monitor hormone levels such as hCG (human chorionic gonadotropin) and progesterone to ensure a healthy pregnancy.
Hormones in menopause
If you are approaching menopause, measurements of hormones like FSH (follicle-stimulating hormone) and LH (luteinizing hormone) can help determine where you are in menopause and if you need support.
Other hormones
A health check can also include tests for other hormones such as cortisol, insulin, and DHEA-S, which can provide insights into stress levels, glucose metabolism, and overall health.
By analyzing these hormonal markers, a Women's Health Check can give you a comprehensive view of your hormonal balance and help identify any deviations or potential issues.
