The Estradiol test measures the level of estradiol, a primary form of estrogen in both women and men. This hormone is crucial for various bodily functions, including reproductive health, bone density, and mood regulation. In women, estradiol plays a vital role in the menstrual cycle and fertility. Abnormal estradiol levels can lead to symptoms such as mood swings, weight changes, and reproductive issues. This test is essential for anyone looking to understand their hormonal balance and address any concerns related to estrogen levels.

About This Test

Reason to Check It

"There are 3 primary forms of estrogen in the body and each of these estrogens are metabolized uniquely.  E2 or estradiol is the most potent of the estrogens and this is what we measure in your blood stream.  Estradiol levels fluctuate dramatically at two points in a woman’s life. The first is in and around the time of puberty and adolescence and the second is around the time of menopause.

The wild swings of estrogen can cause sleeping problems, irritability, weight gain, and memory lapses among many other things.  The loss of estrogen completely can lead to night sweats, hot flashes and the movement of subcutaneous fat around the thighs and hips to be converted into belly fat around the organs." - Dr. Alan Hopkins

Test Preparation
