Estradiol (E2), Serum Test Overview

What is the ESTRADIOL (E2), Serum Test?

The ESTRADIOL (E2), Serum Test measures the level of estradiol, a major form of estrogen, in the blood. Estradiol is a key hormone involved in the development and regulation of the female reproductive system, menstrual cycle, and secondary sexual characteristics. In both men and women, estradiol also plays a role in bone health, cardiovascular function, and overall hormonal balance.

Abnormally low estradiol levels in women may cause irregular periods, hot flashes, infertility, or delayed puberty, while high levels can indicate ovarian cysts, hormonal disorders, or certain tumours. In men, abnormal estradiol levels can affect reproductive health, libido, and bone density. This test is particularly useful for evaluating fertility, monitoring hormone replacement therapy, investigating menstrual irregularities, and assessing reproductive health issues.

By measuring estradiol, doctors can better understand hormonal imbalances and plan appropriate treatment, including lifestyle adjustments, medications, or further hormonal testing.

Why Take the ESTRADIOL (E2), Serum Test?

This test is recommended if you:

• Have menstrual irregularities, amenorrhea, or infertility concerns

• Are monitoring hormone replacement therapy or fertility treatments

• Suspect hormonal imbalances or ovarian/adrenal disorders

• Experience symptoms such as hot flashes, decreased libido, or bone loss

• Want to assess overall reproductive and endocrine health

How is the ESTRADIOL (E2), Serum Test Carried Out?

• A small blood sample is drawn from your arm, usually in the morning, for best accuracy.

• The sample is analyzed in a lab to determine estradiol concentration.
