Women go through many physiological processes, and the important factor in maintaining these normal physiological processes is sex hormones. Once sex hormones are abnormal, it can lead to abnormal physiological processes in women. Women can generally judge through six tests of sex hormones. So, how many of the six tests of sex hormones are normal?
The six levels of sex hormones are actually tests for six hormones, including follicle stimulating hormone, luteinizing hormone, estradiol, progesterone, testosterone, and prolactin. Follicle stimulating hormone promotes follicle maturation, and its normal reference value is measured before, during, and after ovulation, with the unit of measurement being 1.5 to 10 per liter before ovulation, 8 to 20 during ovulation, and 2 to 10 after ovulation.
Luteinizing hormone mainly promotes female ovulation and corpus luteum formation. The normal reference value, like follicle stimulating hormone, is divided into three stages: pre ovulation, mid ovulation, and post ovulation. The numerical units are also units per liter, ranging from 2 to 15 before ovulation, 20 to 100 during ovulation, and 4 to 10 after ovulation.
Prolactin, together with steroid hormones, helps to promote the continued development of mammary glands during pregnancy and milk secretion after delivery. The reference value range is divided into four stages, with the unit of moles per liter. It is less than 1.14 during non pregnancy, less than 3.64 within 13 weeks of pregnancy, less than 7.8 from 14 to 27 weeks of pregnancy, and less than 18.20 after 28 weeks of pregnancy.
Estradiol promotes the proliferation of endometrial glands, allowing for the development of secondary sexual characteristics in women. The value is measured in micromoles per liter, with a normal reference value of 48 to 52l before ovulation, 370 to 1835 during ovulation, and 272 to 793 after ovulation. Testosterone promotes the development of sexual organs and fights against androgens, with a value unit of micromoles per liter. The normal reference value is below 1.4 during follicular phase, below 2.1 during ovulation phase, below 1.7 during luteal phase, and below 1.2 after menopause.
Progesterone can cause the endometrium to transition from the proliferative phase to the secretory phase. The reference values are five stages, measured in micromoles per liter. The follicular phase should not exceed 3.18, the luteal phase should be within 15.9 to 63.6, the early pregnancy should be within the range of 63.6 to 95.4, the mid pregnancy should be within the range of 159 to 318, the late pregnancy should be within the range of 318 to 1272, and the postmenopausal period should be less than 3.18.
