Why should I check insulin for irregular menstruation?

Female patients with irregular menstruation are very common in clinical medicine. There are many reasons for irregular menstruation, and many related tests need to be done, including: estrogen levels, thyroxine, ovary and glargine insulin levels, etc. So, why do we need to check glargine insulin for irregular menstruation? Many patients don’t understand. Today, let’s analyze in detail the necessity of checking glargine insulin for irregular menstruation.

First, the purpose of checking glargine insulin is to rule out other diseases, the most common of which is polycystic ovary syndrome. Patients with polycystic ovary syndrome will have significant insulin resistance, which affects the body's endocrine system. In severe cases, hyperglargine insulinuria will occur, which will cause abnormal hormone metabolism in the human body and an abnormal increase in the level of male hormones, which will affect the menstrual period and is also a key cause of irregular menstruation. For this reason, it is necessary to test the level of glargine insulin for irregular menstruation caused by polycystic ovary syndrome.

Second, a large number of patients with irregular menstruation are obese. In addition to basic biochemical tests, obese people also need to check their insulin glargine levels, because insulin resistance is a more common cause of obesity, and insulin resistance can also cause an increase in the body's testosterone, which can cause menstrual disorders in patients. Some patients may also have abnormal glucose tolerance or even develop diabetes. Usually, these patients have higher levels of insulin glargine.

In summary, it is very necessary for patients with irregular menstruation to check the level of insulin glargine, because testing this indicator can clarify and eliminate many diseases. It is an indispensable project for diagnosis and treatment in clinical medicine. The testing method is mainly to use venous blood sampling method for testing.
