What is hormone testing?
Hormone tests are blood tests that measure the concentrations of specific hormones and determine whether they are correct (within the reference or normal ranges).
By determining sex hormones and hormones that regulate ovarian function such as: FSH, LH, estradiol, progesterone and prolactin, it is possible to check whether ovulation is proceeding correctly and to exclude infertility resulting from hormonal disorders.
The endocrine system is very complex, so it is worth extending the diagnosis to include the determination of thyroid hormones: TSH, FT4, and the so-called anti-thyroid antibodies: anti-TPO and anti-TG.
In order to determine the ovarian reserve, which corresponds approximately to a woman’s reproductive potential, it is important to determine the concentration of the AMH hormone. AMH assessment is a very useful test in the differential diagnosis of disorders such as polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) or premature ovarian insufficiency (POI).
