What items are included in the six-item sex hormone test?

1. Progesterone value

As we all know, low progesterone levels will affect pregnancy. In order to determine one's reproductive health ability, it is necessary to test the progesterone level, because the main function of progesterone is to promote the change of the uterine wall from the reproductive period to the metabolic period. If the level is low, women may not ovulate or have insufficient corpus luteum.

2. Testosterone

The efficacy of testosterone is also very significant, mainly promoting the growth and development of the clitoris, vulva and mons pubis. In addition, it also has an inhibitory effect on male hormones, and will continue to affect the body's metabolism. This item can also reflect the health status of women.

3. Eggs are converted into growth hormone

It is necessary to check the conversion of eggs into hormones, because the key role of egg conversion into hormones is the development and perfection of the uterus and ovaries. If there are defects in this aspect, it may cause poor development of the uterus and infertility.

4. Progesterone is converted into growth hormone

The conversion of progesterone into growth hormone has the function of promoting ovulation. If this female hormone is low, it may mean that the woman suffers from renal failure, sex hormone deficiency, liver cirrhosis, hyperthyroidism, etc. Further examination is needed to determine the cause of the disease, provide good treatment, and ensure physical and mental health.

5. Estradiol

Testing estradiol can help to better understand abnormal menstruation in women, especially primary or secondary amenorrhea, premature ovarian failure, etc. It has a good detection effect. Once these symptoms are confirmed, more scientific treatment can be carried out to avoid the harm of irregular menstruation.

6. Lactation-promoting growth hormone

The main function of lactation hormone is to promote the proliferation of mammary glands, as well as the production and secretion of milk. Through this test, it can be diagnosed whether a woman has female hypothalamic pituitary-pituitary dysfunction.
