Saliva Test by Conditions
For Women
The cyclical supply of hormones, contraception and multiple stresses from work, family and household provide a physical and psychological challenge for women.
Sufficient sleep, rest breaks, nutrient supply and natural hormone supply are important factors in meeting this challenge. With persistent stress, the hormone supply can very quickly be insufficient.
It is therefore important that women learn to recognize symptoms of a lack of hormone supply. With increasing symptoms, the saliva test can show which hormone areas are under- or over-supplied.
Application Control Contraception 1
Does the pill, hormone ring or hormone patch affect your body over a long period of time? The test shows how your body's own hormone release changes.
​
Application Control Contraception 2
This test shows the hormonal effects of metal ions and hormone derivatives on the body's own hormone and immune system. Metal loads can be found, for example, in copper and gold spirals, copper chains and copper balls. Hormone derivatives are released continuously over long periods of time via hormone spirals (Mirena, Jaydes), hormone rods (Implanon) and hormone injections (three-month injections
​
Breast Complaint
This refers to hardening, cysts, or pain in the breast which are at least intensified, if not caused, by an unbalanced hormone supply.
​
Ovarian Removal (ovariectomy)
If the ovaries are missing (partially or completely), then the hormone supply is usually also limited. Strong adrenal glands can sometimes at least partially compensate for a resulting hormone deficiency. A saliva hormone test gives an indication of when and in which areas a therapeutic compensation would be useful.
Exhaustion / Limited Performance / Burnout
​
Women can experience a lack of energy, feel exhausted, have difficulties concentrating, suffer with sleep disorders and can have heart and muscle weakness as well as psychological stress.
If these conditions persist, it can lead to chronic fatigue syndrome or, in extreme cases, burnout. Among other things, hormonal balance plays an important role.
Hysterectomy
A hysterectomy can be a consequence of hormonal imbalance. Sometimes, already known symptoms worsen after surgery (except for heavy bleeding).
​
Tissue Weakness
Especially during pregnancy, the elasticity of the skin tissue decreases. This is largely due to the influence of high estradiol levels during pregnancy. If testosterone and cortisol are too low even after pregnancy, the tissue does not recover quickly enough. This can manifest as a bladder or uterine prolapse.
​
Implants (breast implants, pacemakers, artificial joints, etc.)
​
Foreign substances in the body stimulate the body's immune system. This places a special strain on the adrenal glands. The performance of the adrenal glands can be seen in the hormone areas DHEA and cortisol.
Hormonal effects from piercings, permanent make-up and tattoos are first seen in the areas of DHEA and cortisol. These hormone levels provide information on the performance of the adrenal glands.
​
Headaches
Headaches can have hormonal causes. It is important to observe whether the pain is cyclical or non-cyclical. In the case of non-cyclical headaches, both cortisol and thyroid hormones may be involved.
​
Body Art (permanent)
Hormonal effects from piercings, permanent make-up and tattoos are first seen in the areas of DHEA and cortisol. These hormone levels provide information about the performance of the adrenal glands.
Varicose Veins
Tissue weakness can show as varicose veins. We specifically see a testosterone deficiency and sometimes cortisol is also too low.
​
Fibroids
The development of fibroids can also occur as a result of an unbalanced supply of estradiol, estriol, testosterone and progesterone.
​
Menstrual Problems
Missing period, excessive bleeding, bleeding for too long, intermenstrual bleeding, cramps
​
PMS
hormone test profile 1
Recurring, increasing symptoms in the days between ovulation and menstruation.
​
Cycle Shifts
hormone test profile 1
The female cycle in the fertile days can get out of balance for various reasons. At the same time one typically also sees significant shifts in the hormonal system
​
Ovarian Cysts
If the ovaries are weakened the body tries to stimulate both by increasing the amount of follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH). If detected, hormone deficiency areas are carefully balanced and the additional FSH stimulation of the ovaries is no longer necessary. In many cases the cysts regress under this regulation. We do not always see an increase in testosterone in cysts.
​
Please note that hormonal disorders can only be one of several possible causes of the symptoms listed.
The test result does not replace the support of a healthcare professional.
