Estradiol, Sensitive (LC/MS) LabCorp

This Estradiol test measures your hormone levels, which can help pinpoint the cause of symptoms like hot flashes and irregular periods often related to hormonal changes.

Finding the cause(s) of:

• Breast tenderness: Estradiol levels can influence breast tissue, and this test helps determine if hormonal fluctuations are causing tenderness.
• Headaches: Hormonal shifts, particularly changes in estrogen, can trigger headaches, and this test helps assess if your estradiol levels are contributing.
• Hot flashes: Fluctuations or low levels of estradiol are a common cause of hot flashes, and this test measures your levels to help identify this.
• Irregular periods: Estradiol plays a key role in the menstrual cycle, and this test can help determine if hormonal imbalances are causing irregular periods.
• Mood swings: Changes in estradiol levels can significantly impact mood, and this test helps evaluate if hormonal fluctuations are contributing to mood swings.
• Night sweats: Similar to hot flashes, night sweats can be caused by fluctuating estradiol levels, which this test measures.
• Nipple sensitivity: Hormonal changes affect breast tissue sensitivity, and measuring estradiol can help identify if this is the cause.
• Sleep disturbances: Fluctuations in estradiol, particularly drops, can disrupt sleep patterns, and this test helps assess if hormones are involved.
• Vaginal dryness: Estradiol is crucial for vaginal lubrication, and low levels measured by this test can explain vaginal dryness.
