A member asked:
What test must be done to find out if you have excess estrogen? i am 20 female and i have pcos.

Blood estadiol level: The number is not as important as the balance between estrogen and progesterone. If you have pcos then it is important to control your periods and be screened for metabolic syndrome.

None needed: If you have pcos you do not need a test for your estrogen level. It is always elevated with pcos.
