Your hormones play a critical role in the functioning of your body, as they affect many biological processes and mechanisms. Throughout your life, your hormone levels change.
However, abnormal hormone levels are associated with illnesses, including diabetes and thyroid conditions, and could wreak havoc on your health, weight, fertility, and mood, regardless of whether you are male or female.
Abnormal levels of certain hormones are associated with a wide range of symptoms and illnesses. If a hormone imbalance is left untreated, it can result in medical conditions such as immune dysfunction, growth disorders, reproductive disorders, bone and muscle health issues, as well as symptoms like fatigue, acne, abnormal hair growth or loss, and fluctuations in weight.
Hormone profile testing differs between men and women due to anatomical differences. For example, a women’s hormone profile test will assess different levels of sex hormones compared to a men’s test. However, it is equally important to have it done for both genders.
Male hormone profile testing typically includes tests for follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH), luteinizing hormone (LH), prolactin, sex hormone binding globulin (SHBG), free androgen index, progesterone, glucose, and dehydroepiandrosterone sulfate (DHEA sulfate) to help identify underlying causes of certain health conditions such as fatigue, low libido, erectile dysfunction, mood changes, male cancers, and more.
It is advisable to undergo a male hormone profile testing if you have a history of steroid use, testicular tumours, adrenal gland disorders such as congenital adrenal hyperplasia, or if you are aged 40 or older.
Female hormone profile testing typically includes tests for hormones such as follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH), luteinizing hormone (LH), prolactin, testosterone, sex hormone binding globulin (SHBG), free androgen index, progesterone, and oestradiol. These tests help to understand certain conditions like delayed development, infertility, changes in skin, hair, weight, or mood, menopause, and polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS).
It is recommended to get a female profile blood test done if you are your menopausal years, have difficulty conceiving or maintaining a pregnancy, or experiencing irregular menstrual periods, abnormal vaginal bleeding, vaginal dryness, acne, or abnormal hair growth.
If you are experiencing any of the following symptoms and conditions, we recommend you book an appointment and get a hormone profile blood test done:

Please ensure you arrive for your blood test adequately hydrated. It is important to drink plenty of water beforehand to facilitate an easier blood draw and ensure accurate test results. Staying hydrated also helps maintain blood volume and circulation, which can contribute to a more comfortable experience during your procedure. If you have any questions about how to prepare or what to expect, feel free to ask our staff when you arrive. Your comfort and well-being are our top priorities.
Your hormone test involves a straightforward procedure using a blood sample. A needle is typically inserted into a vein, usually located on the inner arm, to draw a small amount of blood. During this process, you may experience a slight discomfort, but typically does not last long. Remember, it is a routine procedure that is generally well-tolerated, and our trained medical staff will ensure your comfort throughout the process.
Hormonal issues are complex and require guidance from a doctor. Therefore, a doctor’s request or a consultation with one of our GPs is necessary to proceed with hormone testing. If you are taking the results to your requesting doctor, we will email them directly to you. For patients who have had a consultation with us, we prioritise a follow-up call to discuss your results and outline any necessary next steps. After this discussion, we will also email you a copy of the results for your records and further review. This process ensures that you receive comprehensive support and understanding regarding your hormonal health.
