This test measures the level of oestradiol, which is a form of estrogen, in the blood. It is used to diagnose and monitor conditions related to the reproductive system, such as infertility, menstrual irregularities, and menopause.
In males, it may be used to evaluate conditions such as gynecomastia and hypogonadism.
In females, it may also be used to assess ovarian function and the effectiveness of hormone replacement therapy. Additionally, abnormal levels of oestradiol may contribute to the diagnosis of certain types of cancer, such as breast and ovarian cancer.
