What are Hormone Tests?
These hormone tests provide important information for diagnosing, treating and monitoring reproductive health problems. However, each individual's situation is different and hormone levels may vary. Therefore, test results should always be evaluated by a healthcare professional.
AMH Hormone
Anti-Müllerian Hormone (AMH) levels are used as an indicator of ovarian reserve in women.
Progesterone Hormone
Progesterone produced by the ovaries of a woman during the release of a mature egg from the ovaries
Fsh Hormone
High FSH hormone is a sign of a decrease in the number of eggs in women. In men, this hormone elevation
Prolactin Hormone
What is prolactin? The prolactin hormone secreted by the pituitary gland ensures the production of lactation in women.
Beta HCG
Beta HCG is a hormone used to determine whether women are pregnant or not.
E2 Hormone
If the E2 hormone is high, it is seen that there is a problem with the ovaries in women. As a result of this increase...
LH Hormone
LH hormone is responsible for the development of the ovaries, especially for women, and for the testicles to become more effective in men.
Estrogen Hormone
Estrogen, secreted in the ovaries of women, is an important hormone especially related to femininity and feminine characteristics.
TSH Hormone
TSH Hormone; On the contrary, low blood values indicate that the thyroid gland is underactive.
Testosterone Hormone
Under normal conditions, this hormone, called the male hormone, should create a value of 300-1200 NG/dl.
Hormone Tests
Hormone tests related to reproductive health are tests performed to evaluate the functioning of the reproductive system and understand the causes of reproductive problems. These tests can help monitor sexual development, ovulation, spermatogenesis (sperm production), ovarian function, hormone levels during pregnancy, and other reproductive processes. Here are some hormone tests frequently used in reproductive health:
- Follicle Stimulating Hormone (FSH) and Luteinizing Hormone (LH) Tests: These hormones regulate ovarian function and ovulation. FSH and LH levels are used to evaluate ovarian reserve and diagnose conditions such as polycystic ovary syndrome.
- Estradiol Test: Estradiol is the most active form of estrogen and is involved in ovarian function. Estradiol levels are used to track ovulation and assess ovarian health.
- Progesterone Test: Progesterone is a hormone secreted after ovulation and plays an important role in preparing the inner layer of the uterus (endometrium) for pregnancy. This test is used to determine whether ovulation has occurred and to monitor pregnancy.
- Testosterone Test: Testosterone is the main male sex hormone associated with sperm production and sexual functions in men. It is also found in low levels in women and has an effect on reproductive health.
- Prolactin Test: While prolactin stimulates milk production, high levels can inhibit ovulation. This test is used to diagnose conditions such as polycystic ovary syndrome, amenorrhea (lack of a menstrual period), and galactorrhea (lack of milk production).
- Thyroid Function Tests: Thyroid hormones (TSH, T3, T4) have a significant impact on reproductive health. Thyroid hormone imbalances can lead to ovulation disorders and infertility.
- HCG (Human Chorionic Gonadotropin) Test: HCG is a hormone produced by the placenta during pregnancy. It is used in pregnancy tests and monitoring the pregnancy process.
