Our hormone tests for women start with a doctor-led service designed to uncover the root causes of fatigue, mood swings, skin changes and other signs of imbalance. Whether you’re experiencing perimenopause, menopause, or simply want clarity on your hormone cycle, our doctors provide personalised testing and advice to help you feel better and live better.
If you’ve been feeling low on energy, slightly out of balance, or simply want to stay on top of your health, we’re pleased to introduce our new personalised Well Person Checks. These comprehensive health reviews are designed to give you a clear picture of where your body is now and what it needs to thrive. Appointments include in-depth blood testing, allowing us to assess key markers and hormonal levels with precision.
We’re also now offering detailed hormone assessments, for peri-menopause, PMS, menopause and tailored hormone replacement therapy (HRT), using both body-identical and bio-identical options. Our experienced doctors, with a strong focus on women’s health and personalised wellbeing, will work closely with you to find the right balance. For those who may benefit from it, we also offer Mirena coil insertions, a convenient option that can support hormone regulation and contraception as part of your overall plan.
HRT is one of the most important and effective treatments for improving long-term health outcomes in women. When carefully prescribed and monitored, it not only helps to ease symptoms such as fatigue, poor sleep, and low mood, but also plays a role in reducing the risk of osteoporosis, heart disease, and type 2 diabetes. Getting the correct type and dose is essential and our team is here to guide you through that process with care, knowledge, and ongoing support.
Hormones control energy, sleep, mood, libido, metabolism and skin health. When they’re unbalanced, you may notice symptoms such as:
Hormone imbalance symptoms in women – fatigue, brain fog, poor sleep, irregular cycles
Skin changes – acne, pigmentation or dryness linked to oestrogen, progesterone and testosterone
Menopause symptoms – hot flushes, weight changes, low mood
Libido changes – shifts in desire often linked to testosterone and oestrogen levels
A women’s hormone test can highlight whether these concerns are connected to underlying hormonal shifts and provide the answers you’ve been looking for.

A hormone test measures key markers such as oestrogen, progesterone, testosterone, thyroid and cortisol. It provides insight into your hormone cycle and highlights imbalances that may affect your energy, mood, skin and long-term health.
Typical symptoms include fatigue, poor sleep, mood swings, anxiety, irregular or heavy periods, hot flushes, weight changes, acne, low libido and brain fog. If left unchecked, imbalances can also impact bone health, heart health and fertility.
Yes. Hormones such as insulin, cortisol, oestrogen and thyroid play a big role in metabolism and weight regulation. If you’re struggling to manage weight despite lifestyle changes, a hormone test can reveal whether imbalance is a factor.
Excess androgens (male hormones such as testosterone) can increase oil production, leading to breakouts. Oestrogen and progesterone fluctuations during the menstrual cycle can also trigger adult acne and pigmentation.
Testosterone and oestrogen both play a role in sexual desire. Low levels may reduce libido, while balanced hormones often restore energy, mood and sexual wellbeing.
Yes. A hormone test can confirm if symptoms such as hot flushes, mood swings, irregular cycles or night sweats are linked to perimenopause or menopause. Results also help guide whether HRT or lifestyle changes may be beneficial.
Standard blood tests often check for general health markers, while a dedicated hormone test for women focuses specifically on reproductive, thyroid and stress hormones. This gives a clearer picture of your hormone cycle and overall balance.
Yes. Hormonal imbalances can drive acne, melasma and pigmentation. Identifying which hormones are responsible helps tailor treatment for clearer, healthier skin.
Absolutely. While our focus here is on hormone testing for women, men can also benefit from checking testosterone and other markers linked to energy, mood, muscle strength and wellbeing.
Dr Farah or Dr Shabana will create a personalised plan, which may include nutrition, supplements, lifestyle strategies, or onward referral. Where appropriate, HRT (hormone replacement therapy) or other medical treatments may be discussed.
