About Women's Health Panel

 

Hormonal, metabolic and vitamin abnormalities in women can produce a number of undesirable affects, such as weight gain, sleep disturbances, infertility, fatigue, and mood disturbances. In some women, hormonal issues with estrogen / progesterone balance and altered estrogen metabolism can lead to a higher risk of developing deep venous thrombosis, altered blood pressure and fluid balance, and increase the risk of hypertension. In some more severe cases, increase risk of cancer, miscarriage, placental separation, preeclampsia, and pulmonary embolisms can occur.
 
Determining your risk of these issues is now much easier with the  recent development of Nutrigenomic Testing from GX Sciences. Knowing your genetic predisposition allows you and your physician to help determine the proper course of nutrition, hormonal therapy risk and metabolic risk. It can also make you more aware of the signs and symptoms of a possible complications and potential life threatening issues.
 
 

 

 

The Women’s Health Panel consists of 23 Single Nucleotide Polymorphisms (SNPs) that have been chosen by our medical experts which play a significant role in:
 
  • Risk Factors for Infertility
  • Risk of Metabolic Disease (hypothyroidism, insulin resistance, PCOS)
  • MTHFR status and other key methylation SNPs
  • Delivery / Absorption / Conversion of Folic Acid and B12
  • Blood Clot Risk
  • Hormonal Production and Breakdown

 

 

 

 

 

 

Hormone Panel: Genetic Testing for Women’s Health

 

Hormones go beyond sexual motivation for both men and women. Glands release hormones, signaling molecules that regulate various bodily functions like growth, digestion, metabolism, stress, and reproduction. These hormones often work in cascades, where one activates another to complete a biochemical process.  
With 50 different hormones triggering distinct events throughout the body, distinguishing which hormones may be causing health problems becomes complicated. Since these biochemical events can be complex and, at times, interwoven, it’s beneficial to understand your body’s unique tendencies and how they can impact your overall health. Fagron Genomics US’ hormone panel can help with just that.
 

Women’s Health Panel: Hormone Imbalances, Risks, and Symptoms

 

Women are twenty times more likely to have a thyroid issue than men. The thyroid, a crucial hormone producer, can significantly impact health when over or underactive. Various thyroid conditions exist, such as Hashimoto’s Disease, where the immune system mistakenly attacks the thyroid.
 
Hormone imbalances can contribute to weight gain, sleep disruptions, fatigue, and mood changes. In women, estrogen-related issues heighten the risk of cancer, blood clots, miscarriage, and more. These imbalances can affect blood pressure, fluid balance, and increase hypertension risk. Recognizing signs like irregular menstrual cycles, mood swings, and low libido is crucial; consider a hormone panel if these symptoms arise.
 

Genetic Testing for Hormones

 

A hormone imbalance can occur for a myriad of reasons. Hormone issues are not exclusive to younger or older patients. Our hormone panel is a non-invasive genetic test that helps discover a hormone imbalance in males or females. Our integrated approach to health allows our analysis to consider your unique genetic makeup, rather than comparing your hormone levels to the average of the general population. If you are experiencing symptoms related to hormone issues, it may be time to assess your overall health with the help of our hormone panel, helping your healthcare provider gain a better understanding of your unique issues and needs.
