It sure would be nice if there was a simple test out there that could determine an individual’s likelihood of developing estrogen-related cancers or conditions. Fortunately, people need not look any further thanks to the Estronex® Profile!
The Estronex® Profile is a simple test that can be conducted in the comfort of your own home. It is used to measure an individual’s chances of developing conditions as a result of certain levels of estrogen metabolites in the body. It is entirely non-invasive, and it can be used on both men and women.
The Estronex® Profile is a urine test, meaning it only requires a small sample of the patient’s urine. The urine is used to determine the concentration of a number of different estrogen metabolites in the body. Some of the estrogen metabolites are considered to be beneficial, whereas others are considered to have negative health effects. Once these amounts of estrogen and their ratios are measured, our medical professionals can use this information to evaluate an individual’s risk of acquiring certain estrogen-related diseases, such as ovarian cancer, uterine cancer and breast cancer, just to name a few.
Once a patient’s likelihood of developing these conditions has been determined, they are able to take the necessary steps to reduce their risk of developing the diseases as a result of estrogen-related factors. While it may not be possible to completely avoid getting certain diseases, the Estronex® Profile allows patients to see where they stand on the spectrum so that they can do everything they can to decrease their likelihood of getting them.
Once your Estronex® Profile test has been performed and the results have come back, our medical professionals can work closely with you and come up with a plan of action in order to reduce your chances of developing diseases as a result of estrogen levels. We may recommend lifestyle changes, dietary changes and certain supplements in order to help you get more control of your health and wellbeing.
The results of the Estronex® Profile may be used by themselves or in combination with other tests. The end goal is improved health and enhanced emotional wellbeing. When you know more about your risks, you are better able to know the best things to do in order to minimize them.
