Hormone Screening

Meaning

Hormone Screening is a systematic process of testing specific biological fluids, typically blood or saliva, to measure the concentration of various hormones and their metabolites in order to identify potential endocrine imbalances or deficiencies in asymptomatic individuals. This proactive diagnostic tool is employed to detect subclinical issues that may predispose an individual to future chronic disease or diminish their quality of life, such as low testosterone or thyroid dysfunction. Early screening allows for timely intervention, aligning with a preventative approach to hormonal health and wellness.
