Hormone testing is often necessary to:
- Diagnose hormonal imbalances: When hormone levels are too high or too low, it can lead to various health problems.
- Monitor hormone therapy: For individuals undergoing hormone replacement therapy or other treatments, regular testing can help ensure that hormone levels are within a therapeutic range.
- Assess fertility: For couples experiencing infertility, hormone testing can help identify underlying hormonal issues.
- Screen for certain diseases: Some hormone tests can be used to screen for conditions such as thyroid disease, diabetes, and adrenal disorders.
