Hormone test panels measure levels of key hormones in the blood to help evaluate symptoms such as fatigue, mood changes, irregular periods, low libido, or unexplained weight changes. They are also used to monitor ongoing hormone-related conditions or treatment. Results are interpreted alongside your symptoms and history, not in isolation.

What it measures

  • Estradiol — A form of estrogen; helps assess ovarian function and menstrual cycle issues.
  • Testosterone — Present in all adults; affects energy, muscle, and sex drive.
  • Follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH) — Helps evaluate fertility and menopause or testicular function.
  • Luteinizing hormone (LH) — Works with FSH in the menstrual cycle and sperm production.
  • Thyroid-stimulating hormone (TSH) — Screens for an underactive or overactive thyroid.
  • Prolactin — A pituitary hormone that can affect periods and fertility.

Who it is for

A clinician may order a hormone panel when you report symptoms that could relate to hormone levels, or to follow a known hormone condition. Panels are tailored by sex, age, and symptoms.

Preparation

Preparation depends on which hormones are included; some tests require fasting or a specific time of day, while others need no preparation. Follow the instructions from your clinician or lab.

Results and what they mean

Results are reported as numeric values with a reference range, which can vary by lab, age, and sex. A clinician interprets your results together with your symptoms and history. This is general information only and is not medical advice; discuss your results with a qualified healthcare professional.
