# Estradiol, LC/MS (Endocrine Sciences)

> This test measures the specific amount of estradiol, a primary form of the hormone estrogen, circulating in your blood. It helps show if your hormone levels are balanced, which is important for evaluating fertility issues, menstrual irregularities, or development during puberty. Doctors use these results to help rule out dysfunction in the ovaries, testicles, or the pituitary gland. However, this test cannot identify the specific cause of a hormonal imbalance without additional clinical context.
