Hormone tests measure the amount of certain hormones in your blood. The results can help you determine if your levels fall within the normal range or if you may have a hormonal imbalance which can include having too little—or too much—of a certain hormone.

There are certain situations that may prompt you to test your hormones. Here are a few examples:

• If you’re looking to conceive, hormone testing may help assess your fertility and overall reproductive health.

• If you’re experiencing symptoms that may be linked to a hormonal imbalance, testing may help you get the valuable insights you need.

• If you’re a man looking to make lifestyle changes or boost your fitness, hormone testing can help you monitor and optimize your testosterone levels.    
• If you’re a woman who’s wondering about your menopausal status, testing can help you find out where you stand.
