It is more appropriate for women to check hormone six 2~5 days after their menstruation, but if there is a long period of no menstruation, the test can be done at any time.
Hormone six tests include prolactin, follicle stimulating hormone, luteinizing hormone, estradiol, progesterone and testosterone, of which the values of estradiol and progesterone will vary in different menstrual cycles. It is generally recommended to take the test 2~5 days after the onset of menstruation, which is the early stage of follicle and can reflect the function of the ovaries.
In case of some acute diseases or prolonged absence of menstruation, the hormone six test is needed and can be performed at any time. The result of the test is defaulted to the pre-menstrual period, and the result will be analyzed with reference to the value of luteal phase.
If you need to carry out hormone six tests, it is recommended that you communicate with your doctor in time and choose the appropriate time for the test according to your specific situation.
