Hormone Testing Lancaster PA, provides comprehensive overview of thyroid function, adrenal function to assess adrenal fatigue, female and male hormones.  Conventional thyroid testing only tests one aspect of your thyroid function: TSH (Thyroid Stimulating Hormone), whereas here you will also test the antibodies as well as the free thyroid hormones.  That way, you know whether your thyroid hormones are being converted properly.  In addition, many times TSH comes up within normal range, but antibodies can be present and totally missed.

There are two options available to test how your hormones are doing: blood and/or urine.  Here are the main differences so you can decide which testing is right for you:

Blood:

  • Tests one point in time for adrenals
  • Cheaper option
  • Includes thyroid function, as well as the option of checking immune system, vitamin deficiencies
  • Does not test melatonin for those with sleeping issues
  • Requires one-time blood draw

Urine (DUTCH Testing – Dried Urine Test for Comprehensive Hormones):

  • Adrenal function throughout the day
  • More expensive option
  • Shows you how all your hormones are metabolized and processed- gives more details on hormone feedback loops to assess hormone imbalances
  • Includes melatonin and cortisol patterns throughout the day to assess sleeping issues
  • Does not include thyroid function
  • Does not require blood draw, just urine collection throughout the day
