Estradiol Test

ESTRADIOL

Description:
The Estradiol Test measures the amount of estradiol (a female sex hormone which is basically a form of estrogen) in your blood. The test will determine your estrogen status, evaluate your ovarian function and monitor the follicular development during ovulation. In men, this test is used to assess estrogen production levels.

Why Do I Need It?:
Are your ovaries functioning properly? Are you able to have children?
The Estradiol Test gives you a lot of information on your ovarian reserve (where your eggs are).

Test Details:
Normal Range:
Men should have Estradiol levels lower or equal to 29 mL. In women, the level is determined by where you are in your menstrual cycle. Women’s ranges are below:
Follicular Phase       39mL‐375mL
Mid‐cycle Peak       94mL‐762mL
Luteal Phase           48mL‐440mL
Postmenopausal      ≤ 10mL
High Results Indicate:
Elevated levels could indicate ovarian tumors, adrenal feminizing tumors, liver disease or male gynecomastia.
Low Results Indicate:
Decreased levels could indicate ovarian failure or oral contraceptives.

What Type of Physician Should You See?
Men should see their primary care physician and women should see their gynecologist.
