Hormonal Health Assessment can provide useful information when infertility is a concern or menstrual or post-menopausal symptoms are present. Alternating menstrual cycle length, pain and cramping during periods, scant flow, heavy flow, breast pain or tenderness, pelvic pain during menses, acne, facial hair growth, hair loss or thinning, hot flashes, mental fogginess, mood swings, lack of libido, depression and dryness are indications of hormonal imbalance.

For women who are menstruating the expanded cycling female hormone panel is the preferred assessment method. The Diagnos-Techs™ Female Hormone Panels are easy-to-collect saliva tests to evaluate levels of various hormones that play a role in female reproductive function. These hormones fluctuate throughout the menstrual cycle; therefore, testing your levels on only one day of the month may not give an accurate portrayal of the dynamic balance of your hormones. With the Female Hormone Panels, 11 separate samples are taken throughout the entire menstrual cycle in order to gain a more complete understanding of what may be contributing to your symptoms. Your hormone levels can be measured from your saliva, which can be collected easily and painlessly in the convenience of your own home. For more information download the handouts below.

Men interested in testosterone support will usually receive blood tests. Tests for total and free testosterone and estradiol are collected early morning and repeated at 30 day intervals to assess response to the testosterone support protocol. It is also important for men to remember that problems relating to couple infertility involve both parties - both the man and woman may require support.
