In-Office DEXA Scans for Bone Density

Hampstead Medical Center PC is one of the only facilities in the area offering in-office DEXA scans for bone density. A DEXA scan uses low-dose X-rays to measure bone mineral content and assess osteoporosis risk, which is especially important for women approaching or past menopause. Having this service on-site eliminates a separate trip to an imaging center.


Hormonal Health and Estrogen Testing

Hormonal changes affect women throughout their lives. Hampstead Medical Center PC offers estrogen testing to measure levels of estrone, estradiol, and estriol. This testing may help identify causes of:


   ▸ Irregular menstrual cycles.

   ▸ Hot flashes and persistent night sweats.

   ▸ Vaginal bleeding after menopause.

   ▸ Infertility and reproductive concerns.
