Six reference values ​​of female hormones

Regardless of whether they are pregnant or not, women should regularly check their six hormone tests. The six hormone tests can determine whether there is any endocrine disorder in the female body, and can also avoid some complications. A small endocrine disorder may cause a lot of trouble later. Therefore, patients should learn reasonable examinations and timely diagnoses based on their actual conditions, so that they can know whether their bodies are at normal levels.

Reference values ​​of 6 sex hormones

Purpose

By measuring the levels of sex hormones, we can understand the female endocrine function and diagnose diseases related to endocrine disorders. The six commonly used sex hormones, namely follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH), luteinizing hormone (LH), estradiol (E2), progesterone (P), testosterone (T), and prolactin (PRL), basically meet the needs of clinicians for screening for endocrine disorders and general understanding of physiological functions.

The six-item sex hormone test has many tests that can detect many diseases. Therefore, as a common examination item, the six-item sex hormone test is a commonly used examination method for patients with endocrine disorders. Through the six-item sex hormone test, it can be determined whether the patient has endocrine diseases, and then the treatment method can be determined according to the examination results.

Inspection method

The inspection items are different and the attention methods are also different. The inspection content can be a full check or a single item check.

1. To check estrogen, progesterone, and follicle-stimulating hormone, 2 ml is required for each test, also after venous serum separation.

2. To check testosterone, 2 ml of venous serum is drawn. The commonly used method is radioimmunoassay, which can be measured after the serum is separated.

3. Prolactin should be checked on an empty stomach, with serum drawn around 9 a.m.

4. Check luteinizing hormone. Although it is also a radioimmunoassay test, because luteinizing hormone is secreted in a pulsed manner, it is best to collect samples 3-4 times within 1 hour and then mix them together for measurement, which is more accurate.
