The Amenorrhoea Profile is a comprehensive blood panel measuring key reproductive hormones (such as FSH, LH, Prolactin, TSH, and Estradiol) to evaluate the underlying causes of absent or irregular menstrual cycles.

Why is This Test Ordered?

1. Investigate Absent Periods: Diagnoses reasons for primary amenorrhoea (no periods by age 15) or secondary amenorrhoea (stopping periods for 3+ months).
2. Identify Hormonal Imbalances: Helps detect conditions like Polycystic Ovary Syndrome (PCOS), thyroid disorders, hyperprolactinemia, or early ovarian insufficiency.
3. Evaluate Infertility: Assesses ovarian function and hormonal health in women struggling to conceive.

Preparation & Fasting

1. Fasting: 8 to 12 hours of overnight fasting is generally recommended (especially if fasting blood glucose or lipid levels are included).
2. Timing: Best collected in the early morning (between 8:00 AM and 10:00 AM). If experiencing irregular periods, your doctor may recommend testing on specific cycle days (e.g., Days 2–5).

Sample Collection

1. A standard blood sample drawn from a vein in your arm.

Turnaround Time

1. Results are typically available within 24 to 48 hours.
