A female hormone health test measures hormone levels in a woman's blood. Hormones are the chemical messengers in the body that regulate many different functions, including the menstrual cycle, fertility, and bone density. If a woman is experiencing issues such as irregular periods, infertility, menopausal symptoms, or polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS), a female hormone blood test may be required to diagnose and treat hormone-related health problems. Furthermore, the test can track hormone replacement therapy (HRT) efficacy so that a tailored treatment plan can be made on the basis of the test results.
