Amenorrhea Profile (Endocrine Sciences)
Use
This profile measures key reproductive hormones—estradiol, follicle‑stimulating hormone (FSH), luteinizing hormone (LH), and prolactin—to assist in evaluating causes of amenorrhea by helping to differentiate between gonadal, pituitary, or hypothalamic disorders, and to characterize menstrual cycle disorders or reproductive hormonal imbalances.
