Private Oestradiol Blood Test at MUMS

Oestradiol is a hormone and is the main oestrogen found in women and has many functions, although it mainly acts to mature and maintain the female reproductive system.

In premenopausal women, oestradiol is mostly made by the ovaries. Oestradiol levels vary throughout the monthly menstrual cycle, being highest at ovulation and lowest at menstruation. Oestradiol levels in women reduce slowly with age, with a large decrease occurring at the menopause when the ovaries ‘switch off’.

Men also produce oestradiol, however, the amounts produced are much lower than in women.

A test of your Oestradiol level can help MUMS clinicians determine if you're preparing to enter menopause or going through the transition. The Oestradiol test can also indicate how well the ovaries are working. 

It involves a simple blood draw, often timed with the menstrual cycle (Day 3) for fertility checks, and results help doctors understand hormonal balance, especially concerning reproductive health, bone density, and response to hormone therapy. 

Oestradiol is often tested to investigate irregular bleeding, missed periods or infertility. Oestradiol tracks hormonal changes during menopause and assesses if HRT is working. 

A single test is not always definitive so you may wish to look at MUMS Combination Profiles.
