The Estradiol (E2), Serum test measures the amount of estradiol in the blood. Estradiol is the most active form of estrogen and plays a crucial role in the development and regulation of the female reproductive system. It is also present in males, where it contributes to bone health, libido, and hormonal balance. This test is commonly used to evaluate fertility, menstrual irregularities, ovarian function, menopause status, puberty disorders, and hormone-related conditions. It may also be used to monitor hormone replacement therapy and fertility treatments.
