What’s included in this test
Hormone health
Follicle stimulating hormone level (FSH)
FSH regulates reproductive processes and is essential for fertility. It’s used to assess ovarian reserve in women or testicular function in men.
Luteinising hormone (LH)
Luteinising Hormone (LH) plays a critical role in ovulation and testosterone production. It's commonly tested in fertility and hormonal evaluations.
Testosterone
Testosterone testing measures total testosterone levels to assess libido, mood, and metabolic function in both men and women.
Testosterone Free
Free Testosterone provides an estimate of biologically active testosterone, useful in diagnosing hormonal imbalances not reflected in total testosterone alone.
Prolactin
Prolactin is a hormone primarily involved in lactation but also impacts fertility and menstrual cycles. High levels can suggest pituitary issues.
Sex hormone binding globulin level (SHBG)
SHBG regulates the availability of sex hormones like testosterone and oestradiol. Abnormal levels can indicate hormonal imbalance or liver dysfunction.
Liver health
Albumin
Albumin is a major protein in the blood, essential for maintaining fluid balance and transporting nutrients. Low levels can signal liver or kidney disease.
FAQs
How does prolactin affect hair loss?
High levels of prolactin, can disrupt the balance of other hormones, including estrogen and testosterone, which play a role in hair growth. When this hormonal balance is affected, it may contribute to hair thinning or increased hair shedding in some individuals.
What is Prolactin?
In men, prolactin helps regulate reproductive health and influences testosterone levels. Abnormally high prolactin levels (a condition called hyperprolactinemia) can cause symptoms such as reduced libido, erectile dysfunction, infertility, or, in some cases, breast enlargement.
Why might I need a prolactin test?
Doctors may request a prolactin test to investigate symptoms such as irregular periods, infertility, reduced libido, erectile dysfunction, unexplained breast milk production, or suspected pituitary disorders.
