Hormone Test at Vcare Labs

We include a range of tests that measure key hormones related to reproductive health, thyroid function, and general endocrine system balance. Here are the typical hormones included in our hormone testing:

 

 

Thyroid Stimulating Hormone (TSH) – Assesses thyroid function and helps diagnose thyroid disorders such as hypothyroidism and hyperthyroidism.


Free T3 and Free T4 – These hormones are produced by the thyroid gland and are crucial for metabolism regulation. Abnormal levels can indicate thyroid imbalances.


Estradiol – An important estrogen hormone involved in female reproductive health, influencing menstrual cycles, fertility, and bone health.


Progesterone – Vital for regulating the menstrual cycle and supporting pregnancy. Low or high levels can affect fertility and menstrual health.


Testosterone (Total and Free) – Essential for male reproductive health, but also important in females. Imbalances can lead to issues such as low libido, infertility, or hormonal disorders.


Luteinizing Hormone (LH) – Plays a key role in regulating the menstrual cycle and ovulation in females, and stimulates testosterone production in males.
Follicle Stimulating Hormone (FSH) – Crucial for reproductive processes, FSH regulates the development of eggs in women and sperm production in men.


Cortisol – Known as the “stress hormone,” cortisol plays a role in metabolism, immune response, and stress regulation.


Prolactin – Important for lactation in women and has various functions in men. Abnormal levels can cause reproductive and menstrual irregularities.


These tests provide a comprehensive overview of hormone levels, allowing for accurate diagnosis and monitoring of various endocrine and reproductive disorders.

Understanding Hormone Imbalances

Hormones regulate many vital processes in the body, from metabolism and mood to reproductive health. Imbalances in hormone levels can cause a range of symptoms, including fatigue, weight changes, mood swings, and irregular menstrual cycles. Hormone testing helps detect these imbalances, enabling targeted treatments to restore hormonal health.

Who Should Consider Hormone Testing?

Hormone testing is recommended for individuals experiencing symptoms such as:

Unexplained weight gain or loss
Persistent fatigue or low energy
Changes in libido or sexual function
Irregular menstrual cycles or menopause symptoms
Hair loss or unwanted hair growth
Sleep disturbances or chronic stress Understanding your hormone levels can provide insight into these issues and support a personalized treatment plan.

The Importance of Hormone Testing in Men and Women

Hormone testing is crucial for both men and women. In women, it helps manage issues related to menstrual cycles, fertility, pregnancy, and menopause. For men, hormone tests are essential for assessing testosterone levels, which influence muscle mass, bone density, and mood. Regular hormone checks can help detect and address age-related changes or underlying health issues.

 

Hormone Testing for Fertility and Pregnancy

Hormone testing plays a pivotal role in fertility assessments and pregnancy planning. Tests like FSH, LH, estradiol, and progesterone can help identify potential fertility issues, while monitoring hCG and progesterone levels can be essential for tracking pregnancy health.
