Lab Tests Are Vital to Understanding Your Health

What are the Female Hormone Tests?

The test is either a blood or saliva test to check your hormone levels. The specific hormones tested will depend on the nature of your symptoms. The tests may include estradiol, progesterone, DHEAs, total testosterone, androstenedione, prolactin, DHT, LH, FSH, cortisol, TSH, free T3, free T4, anti-thyroid antibodies and more. Alternatively, you can also measure hormones in dried urine. This test is also known as a DUTCH test. DUTCH testing provides significant detail about the hormones themselves, but also how your body manages those hormones.
