Female endocrine examination process

The body has an endocrine system that metabolizes various growth hormones and works with the central nervous system to regulate the body's metabolism and physiological functions. When a woman's endocrine system becomes unbalanced, her skin may deteriorate and her temper may become increasingly irritable. So, how to check for endocrine imbalance in women?

What are the main symptoms of endocrine imbalance in women?

(1) Skin malignancy. Many yellow spots, dark complexion and spots suddenly appear on the skin, which are caused by the stimulation of external factors when the endocrine system is unstable.

(2) A person with a restless and irritable temperament. Women in menopause often experience some symptoms such as irritability, drastic changes in mood, sweating, and changes in temperament, which may be caused by disorders in the female endocrine function.

(3)Gynecological diseases. Gynecological endocrine diseases are very common. Endometriosis, irregular menstruation, dysmenorrhea, and menstrual disorders are all gynecological endocrine diseases. Some breast diseases are also related to endocrine imbalance.

(4) Obesity. Not paying attention to dietary balance and other dietary structures can also affect endocrine.

(5) Infertility. The cerebral cortex is insensitive to endocrine regulation, resulting in some abnormal metabolism disorders of hormones closely related to pregnancy, affecting pregnancy; or the uterine wall is damaged, and the response to female hormones fails, which reflexively affects endocrine regulation and reduces the chances of successful pregnancy.

(6) Breast diseases. The key cause of breast pain and breast hyperplasia is endocrine imbalance.

(7) Excessive body hair. When the body's endocrine system is out of balance, women may develop excessive hair growth due to excessive androgen metabolism.

(8) Gray hair and aging. Gray hair and aging may also be an endocrine problem. In addition, endocrine imbalance, especially reduced estrogen metabolism, is a key cause of physical decline.

(9)Tinnitus. Tinnitus is a common symptom in menopausal women.

How to check for endocrine imbalance in women?

1. Progesterone test. Progesterone is metabolized in a single pulse and it is best to collect samples 3-4 times within 1 hour. Progesterone and follicle-stimulating hormone are responsible for promoting uterine development and ovulation. If the reference value is too high, it may cause amenorrhea or infertility.

2. Follicle-stimulating hormone test. The estrogen level of uterine ovarian tumors or pregnancy should be too high. If it is slightly low, it may be caused by other reasons such as incomplete development of sex hormones.

3. Prolactin test. It is metabolized by the lactation-secreting trophoblast of one of the eosinophilic cells in the anterior pituitary gland. It is a protein growth hormone that has the effect of promoting mammary gland proliferation and the conversion and discharge of milk. If prolactin is too high, pituitary tumors or thyroid hormones are mainly not high.

4. Check the progesterone level. Metabolized by progesterone in the uterus and ovaries. The key function is to promote the change of the uterine wall from the reproductive phase to the metabolic phase. The blood P concentration is 0-4.8mnol/L in the early ovulation period and 7.6-97.6nmol/L in the middle and late ovulation period. Low blood P values ​​in the middle and late ovulation period are common in luteal insufficiency and ovulatory uterine imbalance bleeding.

5. Estradiol test. The cells are secreted from the eggs of the uterus and ovaries and separated from the venous blood for examination, each requiring 2 ml. The function is to make the endometrial glands develop into the reproductive stage and promote the development of women's secondary sexual characteristics. A slightly lower value will result in low ovarian height, ovarian aging, and Sheehan syndrome.

6. Test the female hormone testosterone. Excessive testosterone may cause female infertility or chromosomal abnormalities. It has the function of promoting the growth and development of the clitoris, vulva and mons pubis, inhibiting the male hormone, and having a certain effect on the body's metabolism.

How to regulate endocrine imbalance in women?

1. To regulate your endocrine system, you should start with diet, exercise, and mood.

2. Develop a good diet structure, eat more fresh vegetables and fruits, high-protein foods, drink more water, and replenish the water needed by the body;

3. Participate in various fitness exercises to improve physical fitness;

4. Follow a scientifically researched lifestyle, avoid staying up late for long periods of time, and ensure adequate sleep. Scientific research has found that if an adult's sleep time is less than 4 hours a day, over time the function of their metabolic system will be seriously hindered, leading to endocrine imbalance.
