Hormones control our bodies in a variety of ways and there is a wide range of symptoms that can indicate an imbalance. Mood swings, sudden weight gain, hair loss and anxiety are just some of the symptoms of hormone imbalance.
Why you might need it
Some of the health issues caused by hormone imbalance include polycystic ovaries, poor thyroid function and menopause. Any of the following symptoms can indicate hormone imbalance:
- decreased sex drive
- unexpected weight gain
- hair loss or thinning of hair
- infertility/ miscarriages
- acne
- anxiety
- sensitive and painful breasts in both men and women
- memory problems
- night sweats / hot flushes.
If you’re worried that something isn’t right it’s a good idea to get tested – even if it’s just to put your mind at rest.
If the test shows an underlying health problem, we can help you treat it so you can get back to living life to the fullest.

The procedure
The test will take the form of a simple blood test. You will be asked to sit down while blood is drawn from your arm using a syringe. You may feel a prick when the needle goes in but it shouldn’t cause much discomfort and should only take a few minutes.
The blood will be sent away to our laboratories for analysis and you should get the results within a week. Your consultant will arrange a follow-up appointment to discuss them with you.
Aftercare
Even after you’ve left hospital, we’re still looking after you every step of the way. Once you've had your results, we can help to organise any further treatment you need.
