Why should I test?

Oestrogens hormones play a key role in female reproductive health, including puberty, menstruation, pregnancy, and menopause. Oestrogens are also important for heart, bone, and brain health in males and females. Males need oestrogen in much smaller amounts.
You may need oestrogen testing if you

• Have abnormal menstruation or no menstruation period at all
• Are having issues getting pregnant
• Have symptoms of menopause, including hot flashes and/or night sweats
• Use hormone replacement therapy after menopause
• Have vaginal bleeding after menopause

Test Information

In females, oestradiol testing can be used:

• To help investigate menstrual problems, including problems conceiving
• To help monitor hormone replacement therapy and other hormone treatments

In males, oestradiol tests may be used to see whether too much oestrogen is causing issues such as
* Breast tissue growth
* Struggles to get your partner pregnant
* Erectile dysfunction
