ESTRADIOL

Why Should I Buy This Test ?

For Women

• Measuring the circulating levels of estradiol is important for assessing the ovarian function and monitoring follicular development for assisted reproduction protocols.
• Estradiol plays an essential role throughout the human menstrual cycle.
• Elevated estradiol levels in females may also result from primary or secondary ovarian hyperfunction.
• Very high estradiol levels are found during the induction of ovulation for assisted reproduction therapy or in pregnancy.
• Decreased estradiol levels in females may result from either lack of ovarian synthesis (primary ovarian hypofunction and menopause) or a lesion in the hypothalamus-pituitary axis (secondary ovarian hypofunction).

FOR MEN? YES - Check this out -

Elevated estradiol levels in males may be due to increased aromatization of androgens, resulting in gynecomastia, (man boobs). There is a reason and it's not just exercise. If this concerns you have this test and see if you are in balance.
