Differences in hormone levels between the second and third days of menstruation

What is the difference when checking hormones on the second or third day of menstruation? Some people say that testing hormones after the third day of menstruation will be more accurate than testing hormones on the second day. If there is a problem found during the test, it must be diagnosed and treated in time. It is recommended that daily living habits must be regular, and you should not stay up late or overwork. Living habits must be regular. Irregular habits have a great impact on the body.

It is best for women to check the six sex hormones on the 3rd to 5th day after the menstruation, with a blood test at 9 am on an empty stomach. The effect is most accurate. This period belongs to the early follicular period and can reflect the functional state of the ovaries.

Frequent menstruation may be due to luteal insufficiency, and prolonged menstruation may be due to incomplete luteal atrophy. It is normal only when each hormone level is within the normal range. If any one of them is abnormal, it may cause menstrual disorders.

There are many factors that cause menstrual disorders, such as endometritis, endocrine disorders, etc. Recommendation: It is best to go to a regular public hospital for consultation and then undergo examination and treatment.
