What does low follicle stimulating hormone mean?

Female patients with irregular menstruation will basically go to the hospital for six sex hormone tests. Generally, they will go to the hospital for blood tests on an empty stomach on the 2nd to 5th day of menstruation. This test can reflect menstrual disorders, find out the cause of endocrine imbalance, and then use medication for treatment.

If the follicle-stimulating hormone value is relatively low, it is mostly necessary to look at the luteinizing hormone status. If the ratio of luteinizing hormone to follicle-stimulating hormone is more than 2, this situation mostly indicates polycystic ovary syndrome.

Therefore, a simple low follicle-stimulating hormone value is mostly considered to be a tendency of polycystic ovary. At this time, you can go to the hospital for color Doppler ultrasound to comprehensively judge whether the body's estradiol and estrogen are within the normal range.

Female hormones are a regular process of change. If you want to know which item in the female hormone report is abnormal, you need to comprehensively analyze the values ​​of the six sex hormones to make a definitive diagnosis. Therefore, if the follicle-stimulating hormone value is relatively low, it indicates a high possibility of polycystic ovary.

What happens if follicle-stimulating hormone is low?

First, let us understand the role of follicle-stimulating hormone. For women, it is mainly to promote the development and perfection of the uterus and participate in the occurrence of female menstrual period. Therefore, it has a great impact on women's sexual function and reproductive function. In other words, the harm of slightly low follicle-stimulating hormone is quite large.

For example, women with slightly lower levels of follicle-stimulating hormone are likely to experience menstrual irregularities, infertility, and other conditions due to ovarian obstruction. Once there is an abnormality in the ovaries, it will affect the normal ovulation period. If a woman cannot ovulate normally, it will cause difficulties in getting pregnant in the future.

Follicle-stimulating hormone itself is a type of estrogen in the female body. If the level of this type of estrogen rises or decreases, the body's endocrine system will be seriously unbalanced, thereby affecting women's menstrual periods and causing menstrual imbalances in women.
