Sex Hormone Profiles

Meaning

Sex hormone profiles refer to the comprehensive measurement and clinical interpretation of the levels and ratios of circulating steroid hormones, including estrogens, androgens (like testosterone and DHEA), and progesterone, in an individual’s system. These profiles provide a dynamic snapshot of the hypothalamic-pituitary-gonadal (HPG) axis function, which is critical for reproductive health, bone density, mood regulation, and muscle maintenance across the lifespan. A precise profile is essential for diagnosing hormonal imbalances in both men and women.
