Female Hormone Screening in London

Comprehensive profile and fast results

Hormonal changes are quite common in women from puberty until menopause. The most problematic phase of hormonal change is between late 40s and early 50s when most women go through menopause. At this time ovaries don’t produce eggs anymore indicating the end of fertility. Before that, peri-menopause may happen. This may present with irregular periods.

This change in hormones can cause certain conditions in the body like thyroid disease and PCOS (polycystic ovarian syndrome). When you feel something is not right with your body, you can get a hormone check. MD.co.uk can assist you to get tested at leading private clinics in London. Also you can get follow-up GP consultations to discuss your conditions and take any necessary actions.
