Hormone Evaluation and Testing

Find Out What Your Hormones Are Telling You – Comprehensive Testing in Richland, WA

Hormonal imbalances can affect everything from your energy levels and mood to your weight, sleep, libido, and menstrual cycles. At Complete Healthcare for Women, we offer in-depth hormone evaluations to better understand what may be behind your symptoms and guide an individualized treatment plan tailored to your needs—whether you’re in your 30s, perimenopausal, or postmenopausal.

We base your care on lab results, your symptoms, and your personal goals.

Common Signs of Hormonal Imbalance

Hormone levels naturally fluctuate with age, but persistent or disruptive symptoms may be a sign that your body needs support. Women often come to us for evaluation when experiencing:

• Fatigue or low energy

• Weight gain or difficulty losing weight

• Mood swings, anxiety, or depression

• Hot flashes and night sweats

• Low libido or sexual dysfunction

• Sleep disturbances

• Brain fog or poor concentration

• Irregular or heavy periods

• Hair thinning or dry skin

If you're not feeling like yourself, a hormone evaluation is a good place to start.

 

What Hormones Do We Test?

At Complete Healthcare for Women, we go beyond basic lab work to get a complete picture of your hormonal health. Our comprehensive testing may include:

• Estradiol (Estrogen) – A key hormone for mood, skin, bones, and reproductive health

• Progesterone – Important for sleep, anxiety control, and menstrual regulation

• Testosterone – Vital for libido, motivation, energy, and muscle tone

• DHEA-S – A precursor hormone that supports energy and resilience

• Thyroid Panel (TSH, Free T3, Free T4) – Thyroid function can mimic or worsen hormonal symptoms

• Vitamin D, Insulin, Fasting Glucose – Metabolic and inflammatory markers often tied to hormone health

We interpret these labs in the context of your age, symptoms, and life stage—not just based on “normal” lab ranges.

 

What to Expect During Your Hormone Evaluation

1. Detailed Consultation
   We begin by thoroughly discussing your medical history, lifestyle, menstrual patterns, and symptoms.

2. Comprehensive Lab Testing
   We recommend a lab draw for a complete hormone panel.

3. Customized Review and Plan
   Once your results return, we explain them clearly and design a personalized treatment strategy. This may include bioidentical hormone replacement therapy (BHRT), nutritional support, or lifestyle changes.

4. Ongoing Monitoring and Support
   We recheck labs as needed and adjust your plan, watching both how you feel and how your body responds.

 

Our Treatment Philosophy: Balanced, Bioidentical, and Individualized

We offer a range of hormone options, including FDA-approved estrogen and progesterone, oral or transdermal progesterone, and bioidentical pellet therapy through Modern Medical Spa, our sister practice next door. 'Bioidentical' means the hormone has the same structure as the one your body makes. Being bioidentical doesn't by itself make a hormone safer, so we choose the option that fits your health history. Our hormone pellets are custom-compounded by an accredited compounding pharmacy that's held to strict quality and sterility standards. Because compounded medications are made for individual patients, they don't go through the FDA approval process that mass-produced drugs do. We review the benefits and risks with you at your visit so you can choose what's right for you.

Whether you're going through menopause or dealing with ongoing fatigue or weight changes, a thorough evaluation is a good first step.
