Hormone testing for sex hormones such as estrogens, progesterone, testosterone, DHEA, LH, FSH, prolactin and binding globulins (SHBG) is an important step in determining hormone abnormalities that may be causing or contributing to symptoms. Deciding which of these tests to perform requires your doctor's assistance and understanding of the nature of your complaint. Blood, saliva, and urine tests are available. Testing information is available at Great Smokies Diagnostic Laboratories as well as many other sites. Timing of the test in relation to the menstrual cycle is important for accurate and usable results with regard to estrogens and progesterone levels.
Some testing information is available at Meridian Valley Laboratory. |
