The Progesterone test measures the level of progesterone, a hormone essential for regulating the menstrual cycle and supporting pregnancy. In women, progesterone helps prepare the uterus for implantation and maintains pregnancy, while in men, it plays a role in testosterone production. Abnormal progesterone levels can lead to symptoms such as irregular menstrual cycles, mood swings, and difficulty conceiving. This test is crucial for individuals looking to understand their hormonal balance, particularly for those experiencing reproductive health issues or undergoing fertility treatments.

About This Test

Reason to Check It

"Progesterone levels are normally high in pre-menopausal women and become elevated during pregnancy. Levels are lower after menopause. High levels may indicate ovarian cancer or adrenal cancer, while low levels may be associated with amenorrhea (lack of menstruation), or problems with pregnancy."- Dr. Alan Hopkins
