Overgrowth of the adrenal cortex, which can lead to excess hormone production. MRI shows the enlargement of the gland, while blood and hormone tests confirm whether hormone levels are affected.
Our comprehensive check-up screens for overgrowth of adrenal cortex (cortical hyperplasia) and hundreds of other conditions.
Progesterone is a hormone produced after ovulation and during pregnancy. It plays a key role in regulating the menstrual cycle, preparing the uterus for pregnancy, and supporting early pregnancy. In non-pregnant women, progesterone drops trigger menstruation.
Testosterone, totalThe primary male sex hormone responsible for sexual development, sperm production, muscle mass maintenance, bone density, and overall energy levels. Low levels can cause fatigue, reduced libido, erectile dysfunction, decreased muscle mass, and mood changes. Age-related decline is normal, but significant deficiency may warrant supplementation.
DHEA-sulfateA hormone produced primarily by the adrenal glands that serves as a precursor for testosterone and estrogen. Levels naturally peak in early adulthood and decline with age. Some research suggests maintaining healthy DHEA-S levels may support energy, immune function, and stress resilience, though evidence for supplementation remains mixed.
