Why Analyze Female Sex Hormones?

As girls mature to women, hormonal changes orchestrate the process leading to the beginning of menstruation. There are two phases during a woman’s menstrual cycle, the first phase is considered the estrogen-dominant phase (prior to ovulation), and the second phase is progesterone-dominant (post-ovulation). The monthly shifts between estrogen to progesterone are crucial to a woman’s health. Women normally produce small amounts of testosterone. This “male” hormone helps women stay strong, fit and sexually active, and may protect against breast cancer and cardiovascular disease. DHEA is the precursor to both female and male sex hormones and is released with cortisol under stress conditions.
