Female Saliva Hormone Test (Profile I)

The female Saliva Hormone Test (Profile I) is specifically designed to assess the levels of five crucial hormones in the female body using saliva samples. Our advanced laboratory conducts the following tests to measure these hormones:

• Estradiol (E2): This hormone, a type of estrogen, is responsible for various aspects of female reproductive health and plays a vital role in regulating the menstrual cycle.
• Testosterone (T): While often associated with males, testosterone is also present in females and contributes to libido, energy levels, and overall well-being.
• DHEAS (DS): This hormone, produced by the adrenal glands, serves as a precursor to both estrogen and testosterone and helps maintain hormonal balance and support overall health.
• Progesterone (Pg): Progesterone is primarily involved in preparing the uterus for pregnancy and regulating the menstrual cycle. Imbalances in progesterone levels can contribute to various symptoms and complications.
• Cortisol (C): Cortisol, often referred to as the "stress hormone," helps the body manage stress and plays a role in regulating metabolism, immune function, and blood pressure.

This test will give you a breakdown of your hormonal levels in order to receive the correct treatment plan, so you do not have to suffer from the experienced symptoms.
