A doctor has provided 1 answer

Depends on tests: Which tests should be done for hormonal imbalance? For example, it is important to test for free testosterone and not just for total testosterone because it's the free form that causes symptoms. Also other hormones: dhea-s, androstenedione, fsh, lh, estradiol, progesterone, 17oh progesterone, prolactin, hg a1c. Tests to be done when off hormone pills x at least 1 month and on day 2-3 of cycle.
