What we test
This comprehensive fertility hormone panel analyzes five key hormones that control reproductive function. These hormones work together to regulate menstrual cycles, ovulation, egg development, and overall fertility in women, while also providing important insights for men's reproductive health.
FSH is crucial for reproductive function in both men and women. In women, it stimulates egg development in the ovaries and controls the menstrual cycle.
High FSH levels in women may indicate diminished ovarian reserve or approaching menopause, while very low levels might suggest problems with the pituitary gland.
In men, FSH stimulates sperm production. Abnormal levels can indicate issues with fertility or testicular function.
FSH testing is essential for assessing fertility potential and diagnosing various reproductive disorders.
LH works alongside FSH to control reproductive function. In women, a surge in LH triggers ovulation and helps maintain the corpus luteum.
The LH:FSH ratio is particularly important in diagnosing conditions like PCOS (polycystic ovary syndrome).
In men, LH stimulates testosterone production in the testes, making it crucial for male fertility and sexual function.
Abnormal LH levels can indicate hormonal imbalances affecting fertility and reproductive health.
Oestradiol is the most potent form of oestrogen and plays a vital role in reproductive health for both women and men.
In women, oestradiol levels indicate ovarian function and egg quality. Low levels may suggest diminished ovarian reserve or menopause.
High oestradiol levels can indicate ovarian cysts, certain medications, or other hormonal imbalances.
Oestradiol levels fluctuate throughout the menstrual cycle, so timing of the test is important for accurate interpretation.
Prolactin is primarily known for its role in milk production during breastfeeding, but it also affects fertility and reproductive function.
Elevated prolactin levels (hyperprolactinaemia) can suppress ovulation in women and reduce testosterone production in men.
High prolactin can cause irregular periods, fertility problems, and may indicate a pituitary gland issue.
Stress, certain medications, and other factors can also affect prolactin levels.
Testosterone is crucial for reproductive health in both men and women, though levels differ significantly between the sexes.
In men, testosterone is essential for sperm production, sexual function, and overall reproductive health. Low levels can affect fertility and libido.
In women, while present in smaller amounts, testosterone affects libido, bone health, and muscle mass. Elevated levels may indicate PCOS or other hormonal disorders.
Testosterone levels can be affected by age, stress, medication, and various health conditions.
