Some women may experience menstrual irregularities, but they are not suffering from gynecological diseases and their uterus is not a problem. At this time, they can go to the hospital to have their six sex hormones tested, as it is likely that there are endocrine problems in women. So, what are the six sex hormones?
The six hormones of sex hormones can be used to check whether irregular menstruation is caused by hormonal imbalances. The examination items include progesterone, estrogen, luteinizing hormone, follicle stimulating hormone, testosterone, prolactin, and the ovaries produce these two hormones.
Checking the six levels of sex hormones can diagnose many diseases. For example, if a woman is diagnosed with polycystic ovary syndrome, it may be due to high levels of testosterone. If a woman does not ovulate, it may be due to abnormal levels of estrogen but does not produce progesterone.
Some women have very high levels of prolactin, and at this time, they may experience amenorrhea and lactation, but not menstruation. Based on the examination indicators of six hormones, doctors can obtain a lot of information. For some women with long-term irregular menstruation or abnormal bleeding, the six hormone tests can effectively identify the problem.
The reason why the six items of sex hormones can identify many diseases in the human body is because they mainly check the hormone status of the body, which is what we call endocrine. The six items of sex hormones can determine whether a woman has endocrine related diseases, and the treatment methods can be determined through the examination results.
