Estradiol (E2) Test
Introduction
Estradiol (E2) is the primary estrogen in women, produced by the ovaries. It plays a central role in regulating the menstrual cycle, ovulation, and fertility. In men, small amounts of E2 also help maintain bone health and hormonal balance.
Why Take an E2 Test?
- Ovarian function assessment: E2 levels reflect ovarian reserve and ovulation status.
- Infertility evaluation: Combined with FSH and LH to identify hormonal imbalance.
- Ovulation monitoring: E2 rises before ovulation, serving as an important marker.
- Menopause evaluation: Low E2 indicates declining ovarian function or menopause.
Method & Workflow
A venous blood sample is analyzed for serum estradiol levels. Results are interpreted with FSH, LH, progesterone, and clinical findings.
Who Should Consider Testing?
- Women planning pregnancy or infertility evaluation
- Women with irregular periods or suspected ovulation disorders
- Individuals approaching menopause or at risk of ovarian decline
- Men with suspected endocrine or bone health issues
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
Q1: What is the relationship between E2 and ovulation?
A: E2 peaks before ovulation, making it an important marker for fertility tracking.
Q2: What does low E2 indicate?
A: It suggests ovarian insufficiency, menopause, or pituitary dysfunction.
Q3: Does high E2 always mean a problem?
A: Not always. It can be a normal pre-ovulation surge but may also indicate ovarian cysts or abnormal hormone secretion.
