Irregular periods, excess hair growth, hormonal imbalances, or need assessment of androgen production for reproductive health?

The Androstenedione Blood Test measures a hormone made by the ovaries, testes, and adrenal glands that the body uses to produce oestrogen and testosterone. Abnormal levels may be linked to fertility problems, irregular periods, excess hair growth, or hormone-related conditions, while healthy levels support reproductive and metabolic health.

Simple health checks in my control

I didn't know that private blood tests were an option. Tried this platform as the packages suited what I wanted for a good price. Easy to follow instructions, and super quick results. Platform provides more information than my gp's ever have on the tests and what the results meant. Would like more clinics to be able to test at (specifically Capital Pathology) but there is a decent network. Will continue to use.

"I'm a little biased as I work here! However, I love that The Bloody Good Test tracks my health over time. After turning 40, I wanted to make sure I wasn't going to drop dead from something basic I should have known about earlier. Measuring all my core biomarkers each year gives me peace of mind my health is on the right track"

Overview

Think of androstenedione as your body's hormone factory supervisor – it's a key building block that gets converted into both testosterone and estrogen, making it crucial for maintaining your hormonal balance. The Androstenedione test measures the levels of this important hormone in your blood to see how well your adrenal glands and reproductive organs are working together to produce the hormones you need for everything from healthy skin and regular periods to strong bones and proper sexual development.

This test is particularly helpful if you're experiencing symptoms like irregular periods, unexplained acne, excess hair growth, or other signs that your hormones might be out of balance. When androstenedione levels are too high or too low, it can signal conditions like PCOS (polycystic ovary syndrome), adrenal gland problems, or other hormonal disorders that affect both men and women. By understanding your androstenedione levels, you and your healthcare provider can get valuable insights into what's happening with your hormone production and determine the best path forward for restoring balance and improving your overall well-being.

Symptoms

Essential for individuals with PCOS, hormonal imbalances, reproductive concerns, or anyone needing comprehensive androgen and reproductive hormone assessment.

Questions

  • Androstenedione is a precursor hormone produced by adrenal glands and gonads that can be converted to testosterone and estrogen.
  • Elevated levels may indicate PCOS, adrenal disorders, or other conditions causing excess androgen production requiring further evaluation.
  • Symptoms may include irregular periods, hirsutism, acne, male-pattern baldness, and in severe cases, voice deepening or muscle enlargement.
  • Causes include PCOS, adrenal tumors, congenital adrenal hyperplasia, and certain medications affecting hormone production.
  • Treatment may include hormone therapy, medications to reduce androgen production, lifestyle modifications, and management of underlying conditions.
  • Many androgen imbalances can be effectively managed with appropriate treatment, though some conditions require ongoing management.

How to prepare

No special preparation required. Inform healthcare provider of menstrual cycle timing, hormone medications, and any factors that might affect androstenedione levels or interpretation.

After the test

Address abnormal androstenedione through hormone therapy, treatment of underlying conditions like PCOS, and lifestyle modifications. Work with endocrinologists for complex hormone disorders.

Your test results will be available in your private dashboard. If there are any urgent issues, we'll let you know so you can follow up with your health professional.

Understanding results

Results show androstenedione levels compared to normal ranges. Elevated levels may indicate PCOS, adrenal disorders, or other hormonal imbalances requiring further evaluation.
