Estradiol, Ultrasensitive, LC/MS (Male/Female)

Estradiol, Ultrasensitive, is a form of estrogen, primarily produced by the ovaries in females and in smaller amounts by the testes in males.

Low levels of estradiol in females may indicate conditions like menopause, ovarian failure, or certain hormonal imbalances, leading to symptoms such as hot flashes, vaginal dryness, and mood swings.

In males, low estradiol levels might be linked to conditions like hypogonadism, which can cause decreased libido, erectile dysfunction, and fatigue.

Conversely, high levels of estradiol in both genders can be associated with conditions like estrogen-producing tumors, obesity, or excessive alcohol consumption, potentially leading to symptoms such as breast tenderness, weight gain, and mood changes.
