The Most Effective Hormone Replacement Therapies
This test should be taken at least once a year to give you a broad overview of your health, hormone, and cholesterol levels, metabolism, and major organ function.
A Complete Female Panel is a way for you and your doctor to monitor your hormone levels and get a sense of your overall health.
You must be 18 years or older to be eligible for the Complete Female Panel. The test is done in a matter of minutes by collecting a routine blood sample and running several tests or “panels” that assess hormone levels, and screen for particular biomarkers that could be indicative of metabolic disorders such as diabetes, heart disease, and some cancers. The test also evaluates major organ function such as your kidneys and liver.
Your doctor would order this test as part of an initial physical or exam or any time he or she would like to get a good general snapshot of your overall health and to establish your baseline “numbers.”
It is recommended that you do not eat or drink anything except water for 8-12 hours before your test. If you are taking medications, including any hormones, check with your healthcare provider to see whether you should take them before the test.
After the test, when your results are ready, we will email them to you in a clear, easy-to-read report and also invite you in for a consultation with one of our healthcare providers. During this consultation, based on your results and other factors, we may recommend hormone therapy or other treatments as needed.
Unless otherwise indicated, your test results are typically available within 24-72 business hours after the lab receives your sample. Most often, your test results will be emailed to you, or if you have access to a patient portal, you may be able to see them online. We only use highly skilled and qualified labs like LabCorp for our test panels, so your privacy and the accuracy of your results can be assured. On your report, you will see your levels or scores for a given test and what the normal range is for that component.
