Amenorrhoea Hormone & Thyroid Profile

More About Amenorrhoea Hormone & Thyroid Profile

Luteinizing Hormone (LH)
Luteinizing hormone (LH) test, used to evaluate pituitary function, especially in terms of fertility problems.

Follicle-Stimulating Hormone (FSH)
Follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH) test, used to evaluate pituitary function, especially in terms of fertility problems.

Oestradiol
Oestradiol levels are used to evaluate ovarian function and to help diagnose the cause of precocious puberty in girls (very early signs of puberty) and gynaecomastia in men. IOestradiol (E2) is produced in women mainly in the ovary. In men, the testes and adrenal glands are the principal source of oestradiol. Normal levels of oestradiol provide for proper ovulation, conception, and pregnancy, in addition to promoting healthy bone structure and regulating cholesterol levels in females.

Prolactin (PRL)
Prolactin regulates galactorrhoea (milk production not during pregnancy). Prolactinoma (an overgrowth of the gland that secretes prolactin) may be related to visual disturbances and headaches. Prolactin levels are also as part of investigation for female and male infertility; for follow up of low testosterone in men.

Thyroid-Stimulating Hormone (TSH), T3, T4
TSH (thyroid-stimulating hormone, thyrotropin) blood test which screens for and diagnoses thyroid disorders; monitors treatment of hypothyroidism/hyperthyroidism.
T3 and T4 are hormones produced by the thyroid gland . The thyroid gland is found in the neck, in front of the windpipe. T3 makes up less than 10% of what we call thyroid hormone, while T4 makes up the rest. T3, however, is about four times as strong as T4, and is thought to cause most, if not all, the effects of thyroid hormones.
Thyroid hormones help regulate the body’s metabolism (how the body functions) and are also related to fertility.
