Female Comprehensive Hormone Profile
Female Comprehensive Hormone Profile Why should my hormone levels be tested?
Research has shown that imbalances of estradiol, Progesterone, and
testosterone can contribute to Osteoporosis,
Breast Cancer,
Infertility, and
cardiovascular problems. In response to aging, stress, and other environmental
antagonists, hormone production and utilization can be significantly impaired.
Low hormones levels has been shown to be the underlying cause for symptoms
associated with:
Irregular Menstrual Cycles
Menopause Discomfort
Skin elasticity
Blood sugar levels
Lean body mass
Muscle and bone development
Fatigue
Sleep Disorders
Loss of libido
Impaired thyroid
The Comprehensive Female profile also measures levels of cortisol, DHEA,
and melatonin, to get a more complete picture of how adrenal hormones and melatonin may also
be playing a role in producing symptoms and/or imbalances.
Once abnormal patterns are accurately detected, an effective treatment plan can be developed
to restore a patient's natural hormonal rhythms. This profile also serves as an invaluable
tool for monitoring the effectiveness of therapy and safeguarding against excessive
hormone levels.
How does the test work?
As women become increasingly aware of the role that hormones play in
their health throughout their entire lives, they are realizing the urgent need for reliable,
clinically relevant assessment of hormone activity. The Comprehensvie Female Hormone Profile
