Why Testing for Hormone Levels Is a Must?
Hormones are substances invisible to the eye. And it can be difficult to determine the amount in the patient's body. The best method for determining hormone levels is testing. For its implementation in special sterile laboratory conditions, the patient provides specialists with samples of his biomaterial. Based on the concentration of hormones in the blood, your doctor will be able to make an accurate diagnosis and select a treatment protocol that will show maximum effectiveness.
That is why today, hormone testing remains the main diagnostic method, which is complemented by a medical examination of the patient and an analysis of his medical history.
