What does the test measure?
Estradiol (E2)
Estradiol is a sex hormone that plays a role in the menstrual cycle, fertility, and bone health, among other things. Levels fluctuate significantly throughout the cycle and must be interpreted based on the timing of the sample and individual circumstances.
Issues and situations where the test may be relevant
An estradiol measurement may be relevant for fertility monitoring, irregular menstruation, menopause-related concerns, or monitoring hormone therapy under medical guidance.
The following symptoms may occur with hormonal imbalances but are non-specific and can have many other causes:
- irregular or absent menstruation
- hot flashes
- vaginal dryness
- fertility issues
- changes in well-being or libido
A laboratory value alone cannot explain symptoms or establish a diagnosis.
Who is this test for?
- For those who want to monitor estradiol levels in relation to the menstrual cycle.
- For those who want to supplement a fertility or hormone assessment.
- For those who want to track a previous result.
- For those who want to take the test at home.
