What this test is
The Female Hormone Blood Test Panel (Basic) is a group of seven blood tests that assess key hormones and related markers. It is often used to look at patterns that can change with age or with symptoms such as irregular cycles or hot flashes. The panel does not diagnose a specific condition on its own.
What it measures
- Estradiol — a form of estrogen that reflects ovarian activity
- Progesterone — a hormone that rises after ovulation and supports the menstrual cycle
- Follicle-Stimulating Hormone (FSH) — a hormone that signals the ovaries and can indicate changes in ovarian function
- Luteinizing Hormone (LH) — a hormone that triggers ovulation and works with FSH
- Testosterone — a hormone present in women that can affect energy and libido
- DHEA-S — an adrenal hormone that can reflect adrenal gland activity
- Thyroid-Stimulating Hormone (TSH) — a hormone that helps assess thyroid function
What the test involves
A healthcare professional collects a blood sample from a vein in your arm, usually at a lab or clinic. The sample is then sent to a laboratory for analysis.
Why it is often ordered
A clinician may order this panel to evaluate hormone levels when a woman reports symptoms that could be related to hormonal changes. It can also be used to monitor hormone levels over time or to help guide further testing.
Preparation
Follow the collection lab's instructions, which may include fasting or timing the test to your cycle. Ask the lab for any specific preparation steps before your appointment.
How results are reported
Results are typically reported as numeric values for each marker, often with a reference range provided by the testing laboratory. Reference ranges can vary between laboratories, so your results should be interpreted in the context of the lab that performed the test.
