About Estradiol Blood Test | Measure Estradiol Hormone Levels in Orange
What the estradiol blood test measures
Estradiol is one of several estrogen hormones. In women, it is mainly secreted by the ovaries, with additional production from the adrenal glands. In men, estradiol is produced in small quantities from testosterone through a process called aromatization. The hormone plays a role in the menstrual cycle, bone health, and cardiovascular function, among other functions.
A blood sample is drawn and analyzed in a laboratory. The result is reported as a concentration, typically in picograms per milliliter or picomoles per liter, depending on the laboratory. Reference ranges vary by age, sex, and menstrual cycle phase, so results are interpreted in the context of the individual's clinical picture.
Clinicians may order an estradiol test to investigate irregular menstruation, infertility, menopause-related symptoms, or signs of an estrogen-producing tumor. It can also be used to monitor hormone therapy or assisted reproductive treatments. The test is one part of a broader evaluation and is not diagnostic on its own.
