Hormone testing for women is necessary when a woman shows symptoms suggesting a possible hormonal imbalance.

Hormones affect multiple bodily systems, and hormonal imbalances result in many.

You might need to take a hormone test if you show the following symptoms:

1. Menopause signs like hot flashes, vaginnal dryness, nausea, tender breasts
2. Difficulty getting pregnant
3. Acne
4. Abnormal hair growth
5. Pregnancy signs like missed periods, nausea, frequent urination
6. Absent or irregular periods
7. Abnormal vaginal bleeding

Hormone tests for women help in:

1. Diagnosis

Hormone testing is used to identify the cause of an individual’s symptoms. It can help diagnose conditions like infertility, menopause, PCOS, and certain types of tumours.

2. Monitoring

After being diagnosed with a condition, ongoing hormone tests can be used to track any health changes, including understanding whether the treatments are effective. Hormone tests are also used for monitoring women who have infertility or cancer. It can also help monitor hormone levels in transgender women undergoing gender-affirming hormone treatment.

3. Screening

Hormone tests can also be used for screening, which involves looking for health issues before signs or symptoms.

Hormone tests for women can be performed during pregnancy to screen for potential fetal health problems.

1. Cruciferous Vegetables

Make a habit of eating cruciferous food daily as a part of your hormone detoxification and balancing system. Including cruciferous food such as broccoli, cabbage, cauliflower, kale, and radish in your diet is essential.

2. Include Herbs & Spices In Your Food

Herbs and spices like turmeric, ginger, paprika and garlic have anti-inflammatory properties that promote healthy hormone health and offer different nutrients.

3. Include Magnesium Food Sources

Magnesium helps improve insulin sensitivity, helps our bodies use insulin better, and regulate our blood sugar levels and nervous systems. These foods also are helpful with PCOS and PCOS symptoms. So include magnesium-rich foods like leafy vegetables, legumes, nuts, tofu, avocados and whole grains like quinoa in your daily diet.

4. Include Whole Grain Fibrous Carbohydrates

Whole grains such as brown rice help slow the release of carbohydrates, ensuring we get the much-needed fiber and all necessary vitamin B that supports hormonal balance and healthy removal of spent hormones.

5. Eat Whole Fruits In Moderation

Eating 1 or 2 whole fruits with low sugar content daily with their skin helps check blood sugar levels. Include fruits such as berries, apples, pears and citrus foods in your diet.
