A hormone assessment can serve many purposes, depending on your age, lifestyle, or symptoms. In particular, it can help you:

• Understand the cause of conditions such as chronic fatigue, irritability, sleep disorders, weight fluctuations, or mood swings.
• Assess the balance of your menstrual cycle, especially in cases of irregular periods, severe premenstrual syndrome, or pain.
• Explore the causes of low libido or vaginal dryness, which are sometimes linked to a drop in hormone levels.
• Optimize your fertility if you are planning to become pregnant or are already undergoing medically assisted reproduction (MAP).
• Anticipate or support perimenopause and menopause to better navigate this hormonal transition.
• Adapt your lifestyle, diet, or supplements to restore lasting balance based on your actual biological data.

This assessment becomes a tool for self-knowledge that allows you to take more confident and effective action to improve your overall well-being.

The assessment is intended for all women aged 18 and over who wish to understand their hormonal balance. It is particularly useful in cases of persistent fatigue, menstrual cycle disorders, decreased libido, mood disorders, difficulty conceiving, or symptoms related to menopause.

The female hormone assessment offered by Yuboost analyzes nine essential biomarkers to understand hormonal balance at every stage of a woman’s life—whether related to her cycle, fertility, energy, or menopause. Here are the nine markers analyzed, along with their roles:

• DHEA-S Precursor of sex hormones produced by the adrenal glands. It plays a role in libido, mood, concentration, and cellular aging.
• Testosterone Hormone present in small amounts in women, but essential for energy, muscle mass, libido, and motivation.
• SHBG (Sex Hormone Binding Globulin) Protein that binds to sex hormones such as testosterone and estradiol. It influences their availability in the body. It is also affected by contraceptives.
• Albumin Plasma protein that partially binds to testosterone. It is used to calculate bioavailable testosterone (the truly active form).
• Prolactin A hormone secreted by the pituitary gland. Excess prolactin can lead to menstrual disorders, decreased libido, or difficulty conceiving.
• FSH (Follicle-Stimulating Hormone) Essential for the maturation of follicles in the ovaries. Its dosage is key to assessing ovarian reserve or diagnosing menopause.
• LH (Luteinizing Hormone) Triggers ovulation in the middle of the cycle. Combined with FSH, it helps to understand ovulation disorders or hormonal imbalances.
• Estradiol (E2) The main estrogen produced by the ovaries. It regulates the menstrual cycle, fertility, mucosal hydration, mood, and bone density.

• Progesterone Hormone produced after ovulation. It prepares the uterus for a possible pregnancy and balances the effects of estradiol. A deficiency can cause irregular periods or severe premenstrual syndrome.

This comprehensive panel provides a personalized overview of your hormonal health, whether you are menstruating, post-pill, undergoing fertility treatment, or transitioning to menopause.

When in the cycle should the test be performed? This depends on the hormones to be analyzed and your goals (fertility, fatigue, menopause, etc.). When you make your appointment, we will advise you on the best time in your cycle to obtain relevant results.

A registered nurse collects the blood sample in accordance with current hygiene standards. The sample is then transported to an accredited laboratory for analysis.
