The Oestradiol Blood Test measures levels of oestradiol, the primary form of estrogen in the body, which is critical for reproductive and hormonal health. Produced mainly by the ovaries, oestradiol plays an essential role in regulating the menstrual cycle, supporting pregnancy, and maintaining bone and heart health.

This test provides insights into:

• Fertility Health: Oestradiol levels fluctuate throughout the menstrual cycle, and measuring these levels can help assess ovulation and support fertility planning.

• Hormone Imbalance: Abnormal oestradiol levels may indicate conditions such as polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS), early or delayed puberty, menopause, or estrogen-producing tumors.

• Bone and Cardiovascular Health: Estrogen is essential for bone density and cardiovascular protection, so this test is valuable for monitoring levels that impact these areas.

• Menstrual Cycle Assessment: Oestradiol plays a key role in the development of the uterine lining, and irregular levels can signal menstrual cycle irregularities.

This test is particularly useful for women with fertility concerns, irregular menstrual cycles, menopausal symptoms, or hormone-related health conditions. By evaluating oestradiol levels, the test provides vital information for managing hormonal health and optimizing fertility.
