A test for the Oestradiol hormone.
1 biomarker as listed by Better2Know.
Oestradiol, which is also known as E2, estradiol and 17-beta (o)estradiol, is a reproductive hormone in men and women, although, men do not need as much oestradiol as women.
For women, oestradiol mainly acts to mature and maintain the female reproductive system, with Oestradiol being the strongest of three naturally produced oestrogens. Oestradiol plays a role in:
The development and subsequent release of an egg during ovulation
The preparation of the uterus in the event of fertilisation
Promoting the development of breast tissue
Enhancing bone and cartilage density
As women age, Oestradiol levels slowly reduce. During the menopause, there is a large decrease in the levels of Oestradiol when the ovaries switch off. This is associated with menopausal symptoms such as hot flushes, night sweats, vaginal dryness, mood swings, depression, and fatigue. After the menopause, women are at an increased risk of osteoporosis because of a lack of estrogen. If you have an excess of Oestradiol, you may experience a variety of symptoms from acne, low sex drive, constipation, depression and weight gain to infertility, stroke, heart attack and an increased risk of developing breast and uterine cancer.
For men, Oestradiol contributes to sperm production, resulting from the conversion of testosterone within the testes. In men, an excess of Oestradiol can result in sexual dysfunction, loss of muscle tone, increased body fat, and the development of female characteristics, such as breast tissue.
Are you concerned about any of the symptoms listed above? If you are a woman, are you concerned about your fertility, the menopause, or your risk of osteoporosis? The Better2Know Oestradiol test can give you the information you need to alleviate any concerns you may have or help to identify any issues so that they can be rectified.
The Better2Know Oestradiol test only requires a blood sample to be taken. At a clinic of your choice, a blood sample will be taken from your arm which will then be sent to our accredited country laboratory for analysis.
Your results will be ready within the same day of your blood sample arriving at our certified laboratory. A member of our Patient Services team will contact you as soon as the results become available, where you will then be able to access your results securely via a confidential patient login area of the Better2Know website.
The Better2Know Oestradiol test will provide you with accurate information about the Oestradiol levels in your blood. If the results show abnormal levels, we can arrange a private consultation using our network of suitably qualified doctors across the country.

A single-marker blood test measuring oestradiol, one of the three main oestrogen hormones, for tracking levels linked to your cycle, fertility or menopause.
Wondering if your oestradiol levels are balanced? Oestradiol (E2) is the primary form of oestrogen, playing a key role in reproductive health, bone strength, and hormone regulation in both men and women.
This Oestradiol blood test is useful when evaluating ovarian function in women and gynaecomastia in men. This test is available as a vacutainer sample collection option or can be conducted on a fingerprick sample.
