What is it
Female Hormones Basic is a basic hormone-focused checkup covering Estradiol (Female), Progesterone, and Follicle Stimulating Hormone. It provides a concise starting point for exploring these female hormone markers together and understanding their place within hormone-focused wellness information.
What's included
This panel brings together Estradiol, Progesterone, and Follicle Stimulating Hormone in one view. These are separate hormone markers, so each result contributes a distinct measurement rather than duplicating the others.
Keeping the markers together allows their results to be reviewed as a group while each remains individually identifiable. The results should not be treated as interchangeable or compared as though they use the same scale; each marker has its own reporting unit and should be read in the context provided for that marker.
Together, the three measurements form a focused panel for organizing these hormone results in one place. The value of the panel is the combination of its distinct markers, with interpretation based on the individual results as well as their overall pattern.
How to prepare
Fasting is not required before the Female Hormones Basic checkup. This means food and drinks do not need to be withheld in preparation for the sample. The checkup uses a serum sample, so collection involves a blood sample prepared for laboratory testing.
