How to read the results of the female hormone 6 test

The results of the 6 female hormone tests include follicle stimulating hormone, estradiol, prolactin, progesterone, testosterone, luteinizing hormone, etc. Elevated or lowered hormone levels indicate different diseases. 1. Follicle stimulating hormone: If the follicle stimulating hormone is higher than normal, it usually indicates that the patient’s ovarian function has declined. 2. Estradiol: Estradiol test result is lower than the reference value, usually suggests that the level of estrogen in the body has decreased, which is likely to cause infertility, or low menstrual flow and so on. 3. Prolactin: If the prolactin in the body is elevated, it may cause lactation. If the test result suggests that the prolactin is abnormally elevated, it is likely to be caused by pituitary tumor, which needs to be perfected for further examination, and a clear diagnosis is made under the guidance of the doctor. 4. Progesterone: if the value of progesterone is lower than normal, symptoms such as luteal insufficiency or abnormal uterine bleeding will occur. 5. Testosterone: If the testosterone value is high, polycystic ovary syndrome may occur. 6. Luteinizing hormone: A marked increase in luteinizing hormone is a sign of ovarian failure. Women should choose regular medical institutions when doing hormone 6 tests and interpret them according to clinical symptoms under the guidance of doctors.
