Hormone Testing - understanding the importance
Measuring and testing hormone levels is essential for the proper diagnoses of perimenopause, menopause, andropause or other disease states such as hypothyroidism and adrenal exhaustion (chronic fatigue syndrome), which all exhibit similar and overlapping symptoms. Hormone level testing also enables you to closely monitor your hormones ensuring they all remain adequately balanced and within the optimal physiological range.
Hormone testing procedures
MassAttack chooses healthscope Functional Pathology to perform its testing services. Healthscope Functional Pathology provides specialised medical laboratory testing services to Functional Medicine practitioners and their patients. Their goal is to assist practitioners and patients to achieve and maintain optimal health. Functional Pathology testing is used to investigate patients' functional, biochemical, nutritional, metabolic and hormonal status. It can assist health practitioners in the diagnosis, treatment and management of patients seeking a holistic approach.
Healthscope tests are performed within their expansive core laboratory by a team of highly qualified scientific and technical staff. The tests may be used to establish the cause of disease or imbalance and provide a tool for early intervention and management. Functional Pathology testing meets the expectations of MassAttack clients for high quality scientific testing. Testing allows your MassAttack naturopath to establish baseline levels prior to treatment and monitor your progress and treatment efficacy on your health and weight loss journey.
Healthscope tests have been designed with your comfort and convenience in mind. Wherever possible, we provide test kits so you can collect specimens within the privacy of your own home. For tests that require a blood specimen, Healthscope's extensive network of pathology collection centres in Australia and overseas, ensures that you won't have far to travel.
It is not necessary to visit your GP for any of the Healthscope tests. Occasionally we may need to give patients a test referral letter to take to their GP if some other form of diagnostic testing is required, for example if we believe an ultrasound is required to confirm PCOS.
