I believe many people know that hormones are very important for everyone, but their effects are even more pronounced for women. If there are problems with the endocrine system, it can cause a lot of trouble to the body. So once women have endocrine disorders, they should go to the hospital for timely diagnosis and treatment. So, what is endocrine testing for women?
Severe endocrine disorders in the human body can lead to abnormal conditions on the face, such as spots and acne, while female patients may experience abnormal vaginal discharge and menstrual disorders. So, when checking the endocrine system, it is necessary to draw the patient's blood to check whether their hormone levels are normal. So endocrine examination generally requires checking for hormones such as luteinizing hormone, follicle stimulating hormone, prolactin, estrogen, etc. in the female body.
These hormone levels can be controlled by the human hypothalamus, pituitary gland, ovaries, etc. The hypothalamus is mainly the "highest control center", which releases hormones to issue commands and further sends instructions to subordinates, resulting in different changes in hormones. Moreover, hormones such as luteinizing hormone can promote follicular development and ovulation. If these two values are too high during testing, there may be issues with amenorrhea or infertility.
If prolactin is too high, it can lead to hypothyroidism. But if estrogen is too high, there may be problems such as pregnancy or ovarian cysts. If estrogen levels are low, it indicates that women may have developmental disorders, ovarian failure, and other issues. So, if women have problems with hormone secretion in their bodies, they must go to the hospital for timely treatment and adjustment, otherwise long-term endocrine disorders can lead to infertility.
