Hormonal Assay

A hormonal assay is a laboratory test that measures the levels of hormones in your blood, urine, or saliva. Hormones are chemical messengers that help regulate various bodily functions, such as growth, metabolism, reproduction, and mood. By analyzing hormone levels, healthcare providers can diagnose conditions like thyroid disorders, hormonal imbalances, or reproductive issues. The test is usually simple, involving a blood draw or sample collection, and provides important information about your endocrine system's health and function, guiding appropriate treatment and management options.
