Estradiol, Ultrasensitive, LC/MS - Diagnostic applications of estradiol assays include assessment of ovarian function in a wide variety of situations (menstrual disorders, precocious or delayed puberty, assisted reproduction protocols).

An estradiol test is a simple blood test to measure the amount of estradiol in a person’s blood. Estradiol, also known as E2, is one of the four types of estrogen that the ovaries chiefly produce. 

Estradiol is a form of estrogen, a female sex hormone that regulates many processes in the body. It is available as an oral tablet, a topical gel or patch, vaginal cream, or as an injection.Estradiol is used to treat menopause symptoms such as hot flashes and vaginal changes, and to prevent osteoporosis (bone loss) in menopausal women.

Estradiol testing is done to look for causes of abnormal menstrual periods,abnormal vaginal bleeding and infertility in women.During and after menopause, a woman’s body will gradually produce less estrogen and estradiol, contributing to the symptoms experienced during menopause.
