How to check endocrine disorders? Authoritative experts tell you

Endocrine disorders in women have many disadvantages, so timely examinations are very important. Only through professional examinations can the root cause be found, so that effective solutions can be found. Many people don’t know which subjects to check, so the following is a detailed introduction for you.

1. Endocrine examination items are introduced as follows:

1. Prolactin test. High levels of prolactin may be caused by a pituitary tumor or hypothyroidism.

2. Luteinizing hormone test. Luteinizing hormone and follicle-stimulating hormone mainly promote follicle development and ovulation. If the test values ​​are too high, it may lead to amenorrhea or infertility.

3. Follicle-stimulating hormone test. Ovarian tumors or pregnancy may indicate that estrogen levels are too high. If they are too low, it may be caused by other reasons such as gonadal dysplasia or ovarian failure.

4. Progesterone test. If progesterone is too low, it indicates that the pituitary and ovarian function is poor, which may result in anovulation or irregular menstruation, or threatened miscarriage.

5. Estrogen and testosterone test. High testosterone may be caused by polycystic ovary syndrome or chromosomal abnormalities.

2. Endocrine is a broad concept. The human body has many endocrine glands, each with different functions and different diseases.

Diagnosing endocrine disorders requires determining whether the patient has an endocrine dysfunction. If a disturbance is present, further investigation should be performed to determine the location and nature of the lesion. Therefore, it is mainly carried out through three aspects: functional diagnosis, pathological diagnosis and etiological diagnosis. When undergoing an inspection, please note the following points:

1. Hormone concentration measurement

2. Hormone dynamic observation

3. Hormone regulation function tests include excitation tests (to check the response to trophic hormones) and inhibition tests (to check feedback inhibition function), which are of great significance in distinguishing physiological changes from pathological changes and clarifying the nature of pathological changes.

4. Receptor assay

5. Target cell function test. These inspections are very important.

3. The main ones are: 1. Check whether there are abnormal testicular endocrine diseases such as primary testicular hypofunction; 2. Check whether there are adrenal diseases such as Addison's disease (hypoadrenocortical insufficiency), Cushing's syndrome (hypercortisolism), feminizing adrenal cortical tumors, congenital adrenal hyperplasia, aldosteronism and other diseases; 3. Check whether there are thyroid diseases such as severe hypothyroidism or hyperthyroidism; 4. Check whether there are pituitary diseases such as hyperpituitarism.
