What does gynecological endocrine examination include?

Compared with men's endocrine examination, gynecological endocrine examination is more complicated. It includes six hormones: luteinizing hormone, follicle-stimulating hormone, prolactin, progesterone, estrogen, and testosterone, which are also commonly known as the six hormone tests. If one or several of the results are too high or too low, it is not good, as it indicates that there is something abnormal in the body and you are very likely to have a certain disease.

1. What are the gynecological endocrine examination items?

The gynecological endocrine examination is to detect whether the six indicators of hormones, including luteinizing hormone, follicle-stimulating hormone, prolactin, progesterone, estrogen, and testosterone, are normal. The normal values ​​of these indicators are related to our own health. High or low levels of these indicators may mean symptoms of a certain disease, such as threatened abortion, polycystic ovary syndrome, chromosomal abnormalities, etc. Of course, the doctor will make a judgment based on the results of the examination and test, and give corresponding treatment based on your own situation.

2. Gynecological endocrine examination time

Gynecological endocrine examinations do not need to be performed during the menstrual period. Generally speaking, endocrine examinations are performed within the 3rd to 5th day after the start of menstruation. The results of examinations during this period are the most accurate. If the situation is special and the time is urgent or you have already reached menopause, you can do it on any day. If you are taking hormone drugs, you should check after the hormones are excreted. If the hospital that collected the sample does the test itself, the result can be obtained on the same afternoon. If the sample is sent for testing, the result will not be available until two days later.

3. What should be paid attention to in gynecological endocrine examination

In order to ensure the accuracy of endocrine test results, you need to pay attention to some things before the test. Endocrine examination is to draw blood serum and then test whether the hormone values ​​are normal. Therefore, you should not take hormone drugs before the examination, as this will interfere with the test results and affect the doctor's professional judgment. If you cannot avoid taking hormone drugs, you should wait until the hormones in your body are completely excreted before conducting corresponding examinations to avoid misdiagnosis. At the same time, when choosing the time for endocrine examination, you should avoid the menstrual period. It is usually better to go to the hospital for examination within one week after the end of the menstrual period.
