Description

A "DUTCH Cycle Mapping + Complete" (Dried Urine) test refers to a comprehensive hormone analysis using dried urine samples, specifically designed to track a woman's menstrual cycle hormones (estrogen and progesterone) throughout the entire cycle, while also providing a detailed look at a wider range of sex and adrenal hormones, including their metabolites, cortisol levels, and markers for oxidative stress, gut health, and melatonin, all within a single test. 

Key points about the DUTCH Cycle Mapping + Complete test:

Detailed menstrual cycle monitoring:

  • This test allows healthcare providers to closely monitor fluctuations in estrogen and progesterone levels throughout a woman's cycle, helping to identify potential ovulation issues, luteal phase defects, or hormonal imbalances. 

Comprehensive hormone analysis:

  • Beyond just estrogen and progesterone, the "Complete" aspect includes a wider range of hormones like testosterone, DHEA, cortisol, and their metabolites, providing a more holistic view of hormonal function. 

Dried urine sample collection:

  • This method is considered convenient for patients as it involves collecting multiple urine samples at designated times throughout the cycle and drying them on special collection cards. 

Benefits for identifying concerns:

  • This test can be helpful for women experiencing symptoms like irregular periods, infertility, PMS, PCOS, menopause symptoms, or unexplained fatigue, as it can provide insights into underlying hormonal imbalances.
