After you have reviewed the common symptoms of hormonal imbalances, the next step would be checking your hormone levels. This can be done through blood testing at local facilities; such as Sonora Quest, Lab Corp, or Theranos. Or hormone levels may be checked through saliva and/or blood spot testing kits available at Community Clinical Pharmacy.
