Overview
The estradiol serum test measures the level of estradiol, a form of estrogen, in the blood. It is commonly used to evaluate reproductive health, monitor ovarian function, and assess conditions related to hormonal imbalances, such as infertility, menstrual disorders, and menopause. Estradiol levels can also provide insights into ovarian reserve, puberty progression, and hormone-related disorders in both men and women.
What is the Estradiol Test ?
Estrogens are responsible for the development and maintenance of female sex organs and female secondary sex characteristics. In conjunction with Progesterone, they participate in regulation of the menstrual cycle, breast and uterine growth, and in the maintenance of pregnancy. Estradiol (E2) concentrations below 200 pg/mL following midcycle stimulation (hCG or follicle-stimulating hormone [FSH]) are associated with very low pregnancy success rates.
What is the Purpose of the Estradiol Test ?
Estrogen Tests are used to detect a deficiency or excess in a woman and to help diagnose a variety of conditions associated with this imbalance. They may also help determine the timing of a woman’s ovulation and monitor the health status of the developing baby and Placenta during pregnancy. In a man, Estrogen testing may be performed to detect a hormone excess and its cause.
