✨ Women can have hormone testing for many different reasons. Hormone testing may be used for diagnosis, monitoring, and screening:
👩 Diagnosis: Hormone testing is often used to identify the cause of a person’s symptoms. Testing may be helpful in diagnosing conditions like delayed development, infertility, menopause, polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS), and certain types of tumors.
👩 Monitoring: After someone has been diagnosed with a medical condition, ongoing testing may be used to track any changes in their health, including whether treatments are effective.
👩 Screening: Occasionally, hormone testing may be used for screening, which is looking for health issues before there are any signs or symptoms.
