Hormone testing measures hormones such as testosterone and estrogen, often alongside thyroid and adrenal hormones. It is usually a blood draw, and some clinics also use urine or saliva.
Some hormone levels change through the day, and in many women across the month, so when the sample is taken matters. A panel is a measurement, and whether any treatment follows is a separate conversation with a physician. Urine hormone testing is offered under brands like DUTCH.

Sometimes. Because some levels move a lot, a physician may want two results before drawing a conclusion.
