In order to care for women’s physiological health, we recommend the Sex Hormone 6 test for women today.
Sex hormone levels are measured to understand female endocrine function and to diagnose diseases related to endocrine disorders. The commonly used sex hormone tests are follicle stimulating hormone (FSH), luteinizing hormone (LH), estradiol (E2), progesterone (E2), and progesterone.
(E2), progesterone (P), testosterone (T), and prolactin (PRL), basically meet the clinical screening of endocrine disorders and general understanding of physiological functions. The significance of this test is as follows: Zhao Yinlong, Department of Nuclear Medicine, Second Hospital of Jilin University 1. follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH, also called folliculopoietin) FSH and LH are closely related to the growth of gonadal tissue and the control of reproductive activity, and FSH rises in menopause, post-ovariectomy and premature ovarian failure, between FSH and LH and between FSH and The abnormal relationship between FSH and LH and between FSH and estrogen is associated with anorexia nervosa and polycystic ovarian disease. FSH concentrations above 40 mu/ml in random measurements suggest ovarian failure. In men, vas deferens growth and maintenance of sperm production are often regulated by FSH, and FSH levels are usually elevated in men with azoospermia and oligospermia. Elevated FSH is also seen in primary testicular failure and fine duct hypoplasia (i.e., klinefelter syndrome), starvation, renal failure, hyperthyroidism, and cirrhosis; whereas testicular tumors generally have reduced FSH concentrations. 2. Luteinizing hormone (LH). Elevated LH concentration is seen in hypogonadism, primary testicular failure and fine duct hypoplasia, renal failure, liver and sclerosis, hyperthyroidism and severe starvation. Low LH levels in both men and women can lead to infertility. Low LH values can indicate some dysfunction of the pituitary or hypothalamus. LH concentration is routinely measured in the differential diagnosis of hypothalamic, pituitary or gonadal dysfunction, and is measured together with FSH. In addition, LH is used to determine menopause, the timing of ovulation, and to monitor endocrine therapy. 3. Estradiol (E2). Serum E2 measurement is a very useful indicator for evaluating various menstrual abnormalities: early or delayed puberty in girls, primary or secondary amenorrhea, premature ovarian failure, etc. In men, E2 is also elevated in the presence of feminization syndrome, breast feminization, and testicular cancer. The monitoring of serum E2 in patients with infertility is very useful to monitor ovulation induction and subsequent treatment. In in vitro fertilization (IVF), the use of chorionic gonadotropin and the collection of oocytes are usually optimally adjusted daily during hyperstimulation of the ovaries, and E2 concentrations also need to be measured. Measurement of serum Testo in men is useful in the diagnosis of testicular dysfunction. Measurement of serum Testo in women is useful in the evaluation of hirsutism, hair loss and menstrual abnormalities. Progesterone (Prog,P): Prog concentration is measured to determine the presence of ovulation and luteal function in infertile women. It is best to check the endocrine level on the 3rd-5th day after menstruation, which is the early follicular period and can reflect the functional status of the ovaries. However, for those who are not menstruating for a long period of time and are eager to know the results of the test, the test can be done at any time, and this time is by default the time before menstruation, and the results will refer to the results of the luteal phase test.
