In plain language

What this test helps you understand

This test helps identify potential hormonal causes of menstrual irregularities, such as amenorrhoea, by measuring FSH, LH, and Prolactin levels. It aids in the diagnosis of endocrine disorders affecting the reproductive system.
The Amenorrhoea Andrology Screen Test is used to investigate hormonal imbalances that can lead to menstrual irregularities, including the absence of menstruation (amenorrhoea). This test measures specific hormones involved in regulating the menstrual cycle, providing valuable information about potential underlying endocrine conditions. Understanding these hormone levels is a key step in diagnosing the cause of menstrual problems and guiding appropriate management. This test measures Follicle-Stimulating Hormone (FSH), Luteinizing Hormone (LH), and Prolactin.
