DUTCH testing is a great test for just about anyone.  Anyone experiencing hormonal symptoms like irregular periods, PMS, or infertility would benefit from a comprehensive hormone evaluation.  It is an absolute essential test for those women who are considering use of hormone replacement therapy.

Additionally,  women who experience symptoms like headaches, fatigue, and mood swings that seem to coincide with her cycle can gain great insight as to how their hormones are affecting them.

We also like to use DUTCH testing for disease prevention, especially of hormonally driven cancers like breast and ovarian cancer.

There are 7 different tests available. All require urine samples, and some require saliva samples as well. 

Most of the tests use samples collected in 1 day, but for women who have irregular cycles, infertility, or symptoms that seem to correlate with their menstrual cycle, the DUTCHmapping  test collects samples throughout the month. This unique test gives the most comprehensive look at hormone levels throughout the month. 

We will help you determine which test is right for you!

Absolutely! 

Men suffer from hormone imbalances and can experience “andropause”,  having symptoms of weight gain, low sex drive, fatigue, depression and sleep issues. 

While testosterone typically the hormone we think about for men,  estrogen and cortisol are hormones that are often over-looked in mens health. The DUTCHtest looks at all these hormones and provides the big picture to achieving hormone balance for men.

Of course! Dr. Lechner will be happy to give her interpretation of the results and provide a specific plan for you.
