Hormonal Profile Test Hormones play a key role in every stage of a woman’s life — from regulating periods to supporting fertility, energy, mood, and skin health.
When these hormones become imbalanced, symptoms such as fatigue, irregular periods, acne, or hair changes may appear. At Klinik Caring, Impian Emas, female doctors provide hormonal profile testing to help identify and manage hormonal imbalance.
We take time to explain your results clearly, so you understand what is happening in your body and what steps can help restore balance.
When to Consider a Hormonal Profile
A hormonal profile may be helpful if you experience:
Irregular or absent periods
Difficulty conceiving
Acne, oily skin, or excess hair growth
Sudden weight changes
Fatigue, low energy, or mood swings
Hot flashes or sleep problems (especially during menopause)
Hormone levels naturally change with age, stress, and lifestyle — testing helps identify what your body needs.
What the Hormonal Profile Checks
The test involves a simple blood sample and may include:
Oestradiol (Estrogen): maintains menstrual cycle, mood, and bone health.
Progesterone: supports ovulation and pregnancy.
Testosterone: higher levels can cause acne, hair growth, or irregular periods.
Prolactin: high levels may affect fertility or cause missed periods.
TSH (Thyroid-Stimulating Hormone):checks thyroid function, which can affect weight, mood, and menstrual cycles.
Not all tests are needed for everyone — the doctor will advise based on symptoms and cycle phase.
How the Test Is Done
A small blood sample is taken at the clinic.
Some hormones are best checked at certain times of the menstrual cycle (often between Day 2–5).
Fasting is not required unless combined with other blood tests.
Results are ready within a few working days.
Once results are available, the doctor will review them and explain what they mean, along with next steps for care or follow-up.
Why Hormone Testing Matters
Even a small hormonal imbalance can affect energy, fertility, mood, and quality of life.
Testing provides a clearer picture of what is happening internally and helps guide treatment. A hormonal profile can:
Find the cause of irregular periods or infertility
Detect conditions like PCOS or thyroid disorder early
Support perimenopause and menopause care
Personalise your treatment plan and supplement needs
Understanding your hormones is the first step toward balanced health.
