Hormone Imbalance Check (female) by i-Screen

Comprehensive hormone blood test to identify hormone imbalances in women.

Additional Information

This test measures key female sex hormones, insulin, and thyroid hormones to assess overall hormonal balance. Imbalances can manifest as irregular periods, PCOS symptoms, weight gain, mood swings, and more. Understanding your hormone levels allows for proactive health management and targeted interventions. Early detection of imbalances can prevent serious health issues. This test is crucial for women seeking to optimize their reproductive health and overall well-being.

Biomarkers Tested (16)

Testosterone (ng/dL)

Testosterone is crucial for male sexual development and function, also present in lower amounts in females. Abnormal levels can indicate reproductive or endocrine disorders.

Free Androgen Index (FAI)

Calculated ratio estimating the amount of active, unbound testosterone in the bloodstream.

SHBG (Sex Hormone-Binding Globulin) (nmol/L)

Protein that binds to testosterone, affecting its availability

Oestradiol (E2) (pg/mL)

Impacts acne, constipation, libido, depression, weight, PMS, period pain, and thyroid function. Low levels are seen in menopause, causing mood swings, vaginal dryness, hot flashes, night sweats, and osteoporosis.

Progesterone (P4) (ng/mL)

Crucial for the menstrual cycle, combats PMS and period pain, aids fertility, and promotes sleep.

Luteinizing Hormone (LH) (mIU/mL)

Governs the menstrual cycle, peaking before ovulation. High levels can signal lack of ovulation, menopause, or hormonal imbalance. A high LH/FSH ratio can indicate PCOS.

Follicle-Stimulating Hormone (FSH) (mIU/mL)

Stimulates egg maturation; high levels indicate poor ovarian reserves.

LH to FSH Ratio

Normally 1:1; higher ratios (e.g., 2:1 or 3:1) may indicate PCOS.

Prolactin (ng/mL)

Prolactin stimulates milk production in women and affects reproductive health. Abnormal levels can indicate pituitary disorders.

Fasting Insulin (µU/mL)

A hormone produced by the pancreas that helps to control blood glucose levels and plays a role in controlling the levels of carbohydrates and fats stored in the body.

Thyroid-stimulating hormone (TSH) (mIU/L)

Communicates with the thyroid gland to produce T3 and T4, regulating metabolic functions. High levels indicate hypothyroidism, low levels hyperthyroidism.

Free thyroxine (FT4) (pmol/L)

Measures freely circulating thyroxine regulating metabolism. High levels indicate hyperthyroidism, low levels hypothyroidism.

Free triiodothyronine (FT3) (pmol/L)

Measures freely circulating triiodothyronine. High levels indicate hyperthyroidism, low levels hypothyroidism.

Cortisol (µg/dL)

Cortisol is a hormone released in response to stress and low blood glucose. Abnormal levels can indicate adrenal issues.

Dehydroepiandrosterone sulfate (DHEA-S) (µg/dL)

A long-acting adrenal hormone regulating energy production, the immune system, brain chemistry, bone formation, muscle tone, and libido. It's converted into testosterone and other sex hormones.

IGF-1 (Insulin-like Growth Factor 1) (ng/mL)

IGF-1 is a hormone involved in growth and development, and it's regulated by growth hormone. High levels can indicate growth disorders.
