Testing your free estradiol levels can help identify if hormonal imbalances are causing your symptoms, providing valuable insights into potential causes like perimenopause or menopause. This test specifically measures the active estrogen in your body, which is crucial for understanding how your hormones are functioning. Understanding your estradiol levels allows for more targeted management of your symptoms.

Finding the cause(s) of:

  • Fatigue: Low or fluctuating estradiol levels can contribute to feelings of fatigue and low energy.
  • Hot flashes: Changes in estradiol levels, particularly decreases, are a primary cause of hot flashes during menopause.
  • Irregular periods: Fluctuating estradiol levels directly impact the menstrual cycle, often leading to irregular periods.
  • Mood swings: Estrogen affects brain chemistry, so changes in estradiol can significantly influence mood and contribute to mood swings.
  • Night sweats: Similar to hot flashes, night sweats are often linked to declining or fluctuating estradiol levels.
  • Vaginal dryness: Estradiol plays a key role in maintaining vaginal tissue health, and lower levels can lead to dryness and discomfort.
