Hormone testing should answer a specific medical question.
Hormones are chemical messengers produced by glands such as the thyroid, pituitary, adrenal glands, ovaries and testes. They help regulate energy, growth, metabolism, menstrual cycles, fertility, sexual function, stress responses and bone health.
Symptoms such as fatigue, weight change, irregular periods or low mood can have many possible causes. Ordering every available hormone test may create confusing or misleading results without improving diagnosis.
At Apgujeong Hana Clinic, testing is selected according to your symptoms, examination, medicines and previous results. We then explain the findings in clear English and recommend appropriate follow-up.
Hormonal evaluation may be considered for...
These symptoms do not automatically mean that a hormone disorder is present. Testing is used to investigate possible causes.
Your doctor selects tests based on the gland and condition involved.
Used to investigate symptoms or monitor known thyroid disease and thyroid medication.
May support evaluation of irregular periods, ovulation, menopause, PCOS or ovarian-function concerns.
Used when symptoms or previous results suggest low or high testosterone levels.
Selected when symptoms suggest abnormal signalling between the pituitary and other endocrine glands.
Used only when symptoms and clinical findings raise concern for adrenal hormone excess or deficiency.
May help investigate abnormal calcium, kidney stones, low bone density or parathyroid concerns.
Reviews glucose and metabolic risks that may occur with PCOS, obesity or other endocrine conditions.
Testing is selected according to menstrual pattern, ovulation concerns and the clinical reason for evaluation.
Hormone tests may be repeated to monitor thyroid replacement, endocrine treatment or recovery after illness.
Hormone levels naturally vary and some results are difficult to interpret without a clear clinical question. Targeted testing reduces unnecessary results and helps identify the tests most likely to guide diagnosis or treatment.
Timing, medicines and supplements can affect hormone results.
An abnormal result does not always equal a diagnosis.
Hormone results are interpreted according to symptoms, age, sex, menstrual status, pregnancy, medicines, collection time, laboratory method and related test results.
Laboratory ranges differ, and the same result may have different meaning depending on symptoms, timing and related tests. Avoid starting hormones or supplements based only on an isolated result.
