Gonads (Female)

All relevant functional tests are explained with a detailed presentation of indications, contraindications, side effects, test preparation, framework conditions, concrete instructions for the actual test execution, and the interpretation of the test results. Specific normal ranges and cut-off values are always provided, even for special situations (gender, age, BMI, puberty phases, cycle phases, acute illnesses, medications, etc.). A special feature is the emphasis on test preparation, execution, and interpretation, as well as the interdisciplinary nature. The cycle-dependent interpretation of female sex hormones and gonadotropins is demanding, as is the analysis and interpretation of the androgen profile in women in connection with endocrinopathies. The most important dynamic functional tests of the reproductive system are explained.
