At gynxtra, diagnostics are never a standard step. Your physician recommends one of four profiles only when the result would genuinely change how your situation is understood or treated. Current and relevant medical records will be taken into account.
A single value rarely says much on its own, and hormone levels swing widely during perimenopause. Your physician decides in the initial consultation whether measuring would actually sharpen the picture.
Each profile answers a different question. Your physician puts together what fits your situation, a single profile or a combination. The scope and costs will be discussed with you in advance.
your cycle is becoming irregular, hot flushes, sleep or mood are changing, or hormone therapy is planned or already under way.
Estradiol (E2), FSH, LH, Progesterone, Testosterone, SHBG, TSH (thyroid)
fatigue, brain fog or joint pain persist without a clear cause and a broader look is warranted.
Full blood count, Ferritin, Vitamin D, Vitamin B12, TSH (thyroid), blood lipids, inflammatory markers
you are gaining weight although your diet and activity have not changed, or medical weight management is being considered.
HbA1c, fasting glucose, insulin, blood lipids, liver values, TSH (thyroid)
medication is planned or already under way, and liver and kidney values are needed as a baseline or for monitoring over time.
GPT (ALAT), GOT (ASAT), GGT, Bilirubin, Creatinine, eGFR
There are two ways to have your blood taken: at a partner laboratory near you, or with a test kit at home. Which one suits you is something your physician discusses with you in the initial consultation.
All four profiles require a blood sample.
Whether the kit covers your profile is your physician's call.
The scope and costs will be discussed with you in advance, before any further step begins.
Your physician chooses the profile that fits your situation, or decides against testing altogether.
At a partner laboratory near you, at your GP's practice, or with a test kit at home. You agree the route with your physician. Recent findings you already have can be uploaded directly.
Your physician reviews and interprets the values before you see them, so you are never left with raw numbers and no context.
In a dedicated 1:1 video consultation you go through your values and receive your treatment plan. The results consultation is part of the diagnostics you agreed and is not charged separately.
Your physician releases your values in the results consultation and explains what they mean. They then stay available in your patient area, with that context attached rather than as bare numbers.
Values are never made visible automatically. Your physician releases them in the results consultation, so you are not left to interpret them on your own.
If your physician sees a medical reason for it, a repeat test is arranged. You then see the change against your baseline.
Within the target range, unusual, or relevant to your plan, each with a short note on what the value means.
The Fit Check takes two minutes and tells you whether this approach suits you. After that you choose a time for your medical initial consultation.
The questions that come up most often before the initial consultation. Anything beyond them you discuss directly with your specialist.
All questions and answersIf further assessment is appropriate, your physician may recommend targeted diagnostics. Current and relevant medical records will be taken into account.
Your physician recommends targeted diagnostics only when they are medically indicated. The scope and costs will be discussed with you in advance.
Your physician reviews and interprets the values first. They are released in the results consultation, together with what they mean and your treatment plan.
You complete a medical history questionnaire beforehand, in your own time. In the 1:1 video consultation, your specialist discusses your situation, places it in context, and recommends whether and which diagnostics make sense. If you already have prior findings, you review them together right away.
The initial consultation is also suitable for reviewing and optimising an existing hormone therapy. Please indicate in the questionnaire which preparations you are currently taking.
Not automatically. Your physician only recommends therapy when medically indicated. Some patients benefit from lifestyle interventions or other measures. Your health and safety come first.
