LH · FSH · Prolactin · Estradiol · Progesterone · Testosterone · TSH · Free T4 · Cortisol — nine hormones measured in one visit. Available same-day across Lagos from our Akoka laboratory.
Each hormone controls a different body system. Measuring them together reveals patterns that a single test misses — and explains hormonal symptoms Lagos patients have often had for years without a clear answer.
LH and FSH regulate ovulation in women and sperm/testosterone production in men. Elevated FSH in women signals diminished ovarian reserve; in men it suggests testicular failure. The LH:FSH ratio guides PCOS diagnosis in Lagos patients.
Estradiol, progesterone, and testosterone govern reproductive health, mood, and libido. TSH and free T4 reveal thyroid status — thyroid dysfunction frequently mimics hormonal disorders and is common but under-diagnosed across Lagos.
High prolactin suppresses ovulation and causes irregular periods or milk production outside pregnancy. Cortisol, when chronically elevated by Lagos urban stress, disrupts every other hormone axis — driving fatigue, weight gain, and insomnia.
Come in before 10 AM after an 8-hour overnight fast. Cortisol peaks at this time; sex hormones are also more stable. Lagos patients from or should book early to arrive before Lagos traffic peaks. Note your cycle day — day 2–5 for basal hormones, day 21 for progesterone.
Tell us about oral contraceptive pills (suppress LH/FSH), hormone therapy, antipsychotics (raise prolactin), steroids, and biotin supplements (>5 mg/day interferes with immunoassays). Do not stop medications without your doctor's guidance.
Avoid intense exercise and major stressors the evening before — both acutely raise cortisol and prolactin. Arrive 15 minutes early and rest seated before your Lagos laboratory sample is taken. Same-day results.
Our automated chemiluminescent immunoassay (CLIA) system measures all nine hormones with teaching-hospital precision — available to Lagos patients without the hospital queue.
Results include reference ranges adjusted for sex, age, and cycle day — not generic population norms. Abnormal flags are highlighted and explained for Lagos clinicians and patients alike.
Hormonal results — particularly prolactin and testosterone — are sensitive. Your result is shared only with you or your named clinician, never at reception in Lagos.

"Lagos gynaecologists kept treating my symptoms without ordering the right tests. Mascot ran a complete nine-hormone panel and found my FSH was dangerously elevated. Finally had the answer after two years."
