What is Endocrine Assessment?

Heading

Hormone tests carried out as part of the first examinations of both men and women seeking fertility treatment are referred to as "endocrine assessments." An initial endocrine evaluation, also known as an endocrine profile, is a blood test to measure the levels of many hormones in the blood, including oestradiol, progesterone, prolactin, testosterone, thyroid function, and anti-Müllerian hormone (AMH).

How do hormone imbalances affect fertility and what causes them?

Hormone levels can be impacted by a variety of lifestyle choices, including stress, excessive exercise, lack of sun exposure, and abnormal body weight (BMI 19 or above). These problems may lead to irregular menstruation, which may affect egg maturation, ovulation, and pregnancy implantation. More crucially, any direct or indirect health issue affecting the reproductive system, particularly the ovaries and testes, can cause hormonal imbalances, which can suggest a person's incapacity to release eggs or generate healthy sperm.

What part do various hormones play in reproduction?

Several hormones' roles in reproductionFollicle Stimulating Hormone (FSH): It stimulates the development of follicles from the immature stage to the stage where they contain mature eggs (typically one egg per follicle).Luteinizing hormone (LH): This hormone is crucial for the development and release of eggs.Oestradiol (also known as oestrogen) is created by the developing follicle. When the follicle is larger and of excellent quality, the oestradiol level is higher.Progesterone: It fosters an environment that is conducive to the establishment of a pregnancy or the implantation of an embryo.Prolactin levels have been reported to be greater in breastfeeding mothers. Prolactin levels can frequently rise, which may prevent ovulation or the release of the eggs. These circumstances include persistent stress, thyroid function issues, and some small brain tumours known as prolactinomas.The anti-Müllerian hormone (AMH) is one of the best markers for ovarian reserve assessment. Before beginning fertility treatments, such as assisted conception or IVF, it is almost always checked.

Conclusion

Endocrine evaluation refers to blood tests performed as part of pre-fertility treatment research, including IVF, to measure various hormone levels. In addition to being altered by situations like persistent stress, rigorous exercise, and specific other medical disorders or medications, these hormones can also be aberrant if fertility is lowered.
