Sensitive Oestradiol test in the UK

The gold standard test for oestradiol is the 'sensitive' oestradiol test. E2 is measured using liquid chromatography–mass spectrometry (LC-MS).

I am pleased to inform you that our patients now have access to this test here in the UK. Managing oestrogen isn't that difficult using Testosterone Enanthate and HCG, however, a small percentage of guys do seem to struggle, so the LC-MS technique can help us diagnose / treat E2.

Here at The Men's Health Clinic we concentrate on qualitative symptoms often using quantitive markers to confirm what we already know. Having access to the 'sensitive' E2 test can provide some needed assurance in some of the more challenging cases.

Understanding Your Hormones

Estradiol (E2)

A form of estrogen produced from testosterone. Important for bone health, mood, and libido. Too high can cause side effects; too low can affect well-being.

DHT

Dihydrotestosterone is a potent androgen derived from testosterone. Affects hair growth, prostate health, and masculinization effects.

Free Testosterone

The biologically active form of testosterone not bound to proteins. Directly available for cellular uptake and biological effects.
