PCOS
- Free Androgen Index
- Follicle-Stimulating Hormone (FSH)
- Luteinizing Hormone (LH)
- Sex Hormone-Binding Globulin (SHBG)
- Testosterone
Follicle-Stimulating Hormone (FSH): Regulates the growth of ovarian follicles and menstrual cycle. Elevated levels may suggest menopause or ovarian dysfunction, while low levels can indicate pituitary issues.
Luteinizing Hormone (LH): Triggers ovulation and plays a role in the menstrual cycle. Imbalances may indicate fertility issues or conditions like PCOS.
Free Androgen Index (FAI): Measures the ratio of free testosterone to SHBG (sex hormone-binding globulin). It helps diagnose conditions like polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) and hyperandrogenism.
Testosterone: Though typically considered a male hormone, testosterone plays a key role in female health, affecting libido, mood and energy. High levels may indicate PCOS or adrenal disorders.
Protein
- SHBG: It binds to sex hormones, specifically testosterone, estrogen, and dihydrotestosterone (DHT), regulating their levels and controlling their activity in the body. Low levels may indicate excess testosterone or conditions like PCOS, while high levels can be linked to liver disease or hormonal imbalances
