In today's society, for young couples, they usually undergo a full body examination before getting pregnant to prepare for pregnancy. The common examination items for women are the six item sex hormone test. Before undergoing the six item sex hormone test, doctors usually recommend that women undergo the six item sex hormone test from the 2nd to the 5th day of their menstrual cycle. Can the six item sex hormone test detect ovulation?
The six levels of sex hormones can be used to check ovulation, and the clinical significance of sex hormones is to determine women's endocrine function and diagnose diseases related to endocrine disorders by measuring sex hormone levels.
For women with regular menstrual cycles, their endocrine function is also relatively good and they can ovulate on their own. Therefore, there is generally no need for additional testing of sex hormones, as long as normal pregnancy preparation and regular sexual activity are sufficient.
Irregular menstrual cycles, especially for women with longer cycles or reduced menstrual flow, are recommended to undergo six hormone tests, along with thyroid function tests. For those with better conditions, Mullerian hormone AMH can also be checked. Because it may be a common gynecological issue, such as polycystic ovary syndrome, hyperprolactinemia, ovarian dysfunction, and hypothyroidism.
If it is necessary to check the six levels of sex hormones, it is generally done within 2-5 days of menstruation. If the menstrual cycle is irregular and the patient has been amenorrhea for 2-3 months, blood tests can be directly taken, and the best time is 9-11 o'clock.
