How many hours of fasting are required for a sex hormone 6 test?

Fasting is required for the Sex Hormone Six test, usually for 6-8 hours, with fasting and water fasting from the previous day’s dinner until the next morning’s test. Sex Hormone 6 test mainly includes Follicle Stimulating Hormone (FSH), Luteinizing Hormone (LH), Estradiol (E2), Testosterone (T), Progesterone (P), and Prolactin (PRL), which are used to understand the endocrine function in the body and to diagnose endocrine disorders related to diseases. When taking the sex hormone test, you should also make sure that you have not used hormone drugs within a month. This is because the level of sex hormones in the body will be affected after taking hormonal drugs. After eating and drinking, it will affect the secretion of the liver, intestines and other organs, and will also affect the hormone levels in the blood, so it is important to have an empty stomach before doing the sex hormones. In addition, the normal range of hormone six is different at different times of a woman’s menstrual cycle. Blood can be drawn at the hospital on the 3rd-5th day after menstruation to monitor the basic hormone levels in the body.
