Hormonal balance is essential to a woman’s reproductive health, and overall health in turn. The main hormones impacting the menstrual cycle are produced by glands in the brain and by the ovaries. These regulate menstruation, fertility and sex drive. As most women approach midlife, hormonal changes gradually cause the reproductive organs to switch off, leading to menopause.
Hormones are complex, especially during the perimenopausal years. These hormones can prompt changes and challenges in mood stabilisation, conception and regulation of the typical menstrual cycle. This extensive test expands on the basic female hormone profile. If left unaddressed, chronic hormonal imbalance can lead to ovarian cancer, PCOS, uterine cancer, infertility, fibroids and hair loss.
