What are the six items of female sex hormones? The six items of female sex hormones are testosterone, progesterone, estradiol and prolactin, as well as luteinizing hormone and follicle stimulating hormone. Through the examination of these six values, we can judge whether there is abnormal secretion of sex hormones in women, diagnose whether there is polycystic ovary syndrome, and judge whether the ovarian function of women is normal, whether there is premature ovarian failure, whether there is hyperprolactinemia and whether the secretion of estrogen is sufficient. There will also be strict requirements on the time of examination, which must be arranged on the first 1~5 days of menstruation.
Through the examination of six items of sex hormone secretion, it can be roughly judged whether the patient has abnormal sex hormone secretion. Abnormal hormone secretion is one of the main factors that affect the fertility and sexual life ability of patients.
For men, if there is abnormal secretion of sex hormones, it is likely to cause male infertility, premature ejaculation or impotence in sexual life, low sexual desire, erectile dysfunction in sexual life and so on. It is necessary to check six items of sex hormone secretion to judge whether there is abnormality, and then give targeted treatment. For women, if the secretion of sex hormones is abnormal, it may cause menstrual disorder, abnormal menstrual blood, and may lead to female infertility. In addition, it may cause breast problems and reproductive system diseases, which need to be checked and ruled out one by one.
What should women pay attention to when checking six sex hormones? Six female sex hormones include pituitary gonadotropins FSH and LH, pituitary prolactin, estrogen, progesterone and androgen. The pituitary gonadotropin changes periodically with the menstrual cycle in reproductive women. The physiological function of FSH is mainly to promote follicular maturation and secrete estrogen. The physiological function of LH is mainly to promote ovarian ovulation and corpus luteum production, so as to promote corpus luteum to secrete progesterone and estrogen. Therefore, when pituitary gonadotropins are used in the diagnosis of diseases, we should pay attention to the time period of blood collection, usually on the second to fourth day of menstruation, and blood collection can be taken at any time when women have amenorrhea. Prolactin is a polypeptide protein hormone secreted by prolactin cells in adenohypophysis, which is regulated by hypothalamic prolactin inhibitory hormone and prolactin releasing hormone. In addition, it is also affected by thyroid function, ovarian function, corpus luteum function, neuropsychiatric stimulation and drug action.
Therefore, it is necessary to exclude the influence of other drugs when checking prolactin, and generally collect blood in the morning and around 9 o'clock in a quiet state. Estrogen will fluctuate with the periodic changes of ovaries, and it is usually collected on the second to fourth day of menstruation to understand the function of ovaries. Progesterone reaches its peak before ovulation on the 2nd1day of menstruation. If you want to know whether there is ovulation, you need to collect it on the 2nd1day of menstruation. Androgen can be collected at any time when it is used to diagnose some diseases.
