Hormone Testing at home in Dubai
With the help of our precise and private testing, you can gain a more in-depth understanding of your hormonal health.
What are hormones?
Hormones are chemicals communicating with your organs, skin, muscles, and other tissues through your bloodstream to regulate various bodily activities.
Your body receives these messages and knows what to do and when. Your health and life depend on hormones. The human body contains more than 50 hormones discovered thus far.
What is the Hormone Test?
The process of measuring particular hormone levels and balances in the body is known as hormone testing. Hormones are chemical messengers that control a wide range of physiological activities, such as mood, growth and development, metabolism, and reproduction. Hormone testing is frequently done to find abnormalities or imbalances that can cause symptoms or other health problems.
Why Hormone Testing?
Understanding your hormonal balance is crucial for overall health and well-being. Hormones are pivotal in regulating various bodily functions, impacting energy levels, mood, metabolism, and more. Whether you’re experiencing unexplained fatigue, mood swings, or other symptoms, our hormone tests can provide valuable insights.
What do hormones do?
Hormones serve two purposes in your body’s communication system. The first kind is when two endocrine glands communicate: When a gland releases a hormone, it prompts another gland to release hormones in different quantities.
The exchange of information between your pituitary gland and thyroid is one instance of this. Thyroid-stimulating hormone (TSH), released by your pituitary gland, causes your thyroid gland to release hormones that subsequently impact different body parts.
An endocrine gland and a target organ communicate in the second way. An illustration of this is when your muscles and liver metabolize glucose with the help of insulin, which is released by your pancreas.
Which hormone matters depends on who you are and when the blood is drawn. Testosterone and cortisol follow a daily rhythm and are highest in the early morning, so both are drawn before about 10am. In women who still menstruate, FSH, LH and oestradiol are read against day 2–3 of the cycle and progesterone against roughly day 21. High-dose biotin supplements can distort many hormone immunoassays, so stop them for at least 48 hours before the draw or tell the nurse. Our team confirms the right slot and preparation with you when you book — morning appointments from 06:00 are available.
What hormones regulate
Your endocrine system comprises hormones and most tissues (mostly glands) that produce and release them. Hormones regulate a wide range of physiological functions, such as
- The metabolism.
- Homeostasis (continuous internal equilibrium) as in blood
- Body temperature, electrolyte and fluid balance, blood pressure, and blood sugar management.
- The role of sexuality.
- The reproduction process.
- Wake-sleep cycle.
- Feelings.
What conditions are caused by hormone issues?
Hormone problems are the leading cause of numerous medical disorders. For most hormones, excess or insufficient amounts result in symptoms and health problems. Treatment is often necessary for these abnormalities. Among the most common disorders linked to hormones are:
What causes hormonal imbalances?
Every hormone-related illness may have several underlying causes. In general, the following situations or conditions are the primary causes of hormone imbalances:
Our Comprehensive Hormone Tests
Two profiles, one for men and one for women. Each card below names every parameter that profile actually reports, so nothing is implied that is not measured.
Neither hormone profile contains TSH, free T4, free T3, prolactin, cortisol, insulin or glucose. Thyroid and diabetes markers are named on this page because they are hormone disorders, not because these two profiles measure them — those need the PCOS Test, the Menopause Profile or a separate thyroid or diabetes panel, and our doctor will tell you which one your symptoms point to.
