Hormonal Assessments
Hormonal Assessments are critical in diagnosing and managing various reproductive, endocrine, and gynecological conditions. These assessments involve testing hormone levels to gain insights into a patient’s reproductive health, menstrual cycle irregularities, fertility, and other hormonal imbalances.
In gynecology and obstetrics, hormonal assessments are used to:
Evaluate Fertility: Hormone levels such as estrogen, progesterone, FSH (Follicle-Stimulating Hormone), LH (Luteinizing Hormone), and AMH (Anti-Müllerian Hormone) are assessed to determine ovarian reserve and ovulation health, which are vital for conception.
Diagnose Polycystic Ovary Syndrome (PCOS): Hormonal imbalances such as elevated androgens, insulin resistance, and irregular FSH/LH levels are indicators of PCOS, a common condition affecting ovulation and menstruation.
Assess Thyroid Function: Hormones like TSH (Thyroid-Stimulating Hormone), T3, and T4 are evaluated to detect thyroid disorders that may affect metabolism, menstruation, and pregnancy.
Monitor Menopause: Hormonal assessments help determine the onset of menopause by evaluating decreasing estrogen and progesterone levels, allowing for symptom management.
Detect Hormonal Imbalances: Irregular levels of hormones such as prolactin, cortisol, and testosterone are tested to diagnose conditions like hyperprolactinemia, adrenal disorders, or androgen excess.
