A member asked:

What is hormone saliva testing?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Controversial: This is being marketed over the internet as an alternative to serum hormone testing from blood draws. Many studies have shown the results to be inconclusive. Meet with a physician to discuss your concerns and let them recommend testing modalities appropriate to your situation.

I was rinsing my mouth with salt water and accidently swallowed it. My urine for the last few hours has been minimal and darker yellow. I read this is due to ADH hormone release making me retain water. Is that true? How long will that last? Thanks?
