What's included in this test?
Oestradiol
Oestradiol is a steroid hormone that is primarily produced in the ovaries of women and to a lesser extent in the testes of men. It is one of three types of estrogen and has important functions in regulating the female reproductive system, as well as promoting breast tissue growth and maintaining bone density. Oestradiol levels naturally fluctuate throughout the menstrual cycle, peaking at ovulation in pre-menopausal women. As women age, their oestradiol levels decrease and eventually stop altogether with menopause. Low levels of oestradiol can lead to symptoms commonly associated with menopause such as hot flushes, night sweats, and mood swings. Additionally, low levels of oestradiol can increase the risk of developing osteoporosis.
Sampling special instructions
Prepare for your Oestradiol Blood Test by following the instructions included within your test kit. It is recommended to schedule the test during the early follicular phase of your menstrual cycle, ideally between days 2 and 4, day 3 being preferred. However, if you are not menstruating or have an irregular cycle, your healthcare provider will provide specific instructions on when to take the test. It is important to inform your healthcare provider about any hormonal medications or supplements you are currently taking, as they may affect the test results. Follow their guidance on whether to continue or temporarily pause these medications prior to the test. Ensure proper hydration before the test by drinking plenty of water.
