As of January 2020, six female hormone tests cost about 600 yuan.

The six-item examination of female sex hormones includes the following:

1. Examination of follicle-stimulating hormone. Clinically, follicle-stimulating hormone is mainly used to understand whether the ovarian function is normal.

2. Luteinizing hormone test. Luteinizing hormone test can help you know when ovulation will occur.

3. It is the examination of androgen. Clinically, if androgen is increased, women will often have hirsutism, and it is also suspected whether it is caused by polycystic ovary syndrome. Clinically, there is important reference significance.

4. It is prolactin. Clinically, an increase in prolactin often leads to reduced menstrual flow or amenorrhea. If prolactin increases abnormally, the possibility of pituitary adenoma needs to be ruled out clinically.

5. It is the test of progesterone. If progesterone is clinically abnormal, it will often lead to shortened menstrual cycle.

6. It is the examination of estradiol. If estradiol is reduced, it will clinically lead to reduced menstrual flow or a thin endometrium.

Extended information:

The items to be checked are different, and the methods of attention are also different. The inspection content can be comprehensive or individual.

1. Check estrogen, progesterone, and follicle-stimulating hormone. They are also tested after venous serum separation. Each requires 2 ml.

2. To check testosterone, 2 ml of venous serum is extracted. The commonly used method is radioimmunoassay, which can be measured after the serum is separated.

3. Prolactin should be checked on an empty stomach, and serum should be drawn around 9 o'clock in the morning.

4. Check luteinizing hormone. Although it is also a radioimmunoassay test, since luteinizing hormone is secreted in a pulse, it is best to collect specimens 3-4 times within 1 hour, and then mix them together. Measurement is more accurate.
