Six tests of sex hormones are a common test for women. The main purpose is to accurately understand the endocrine situation of female patients by detecting six indexes in female serum, and further judge whether the endocrine organs such as ovary, pituitary gland and hypothalamus are normal through whether the indexes are normal, so that doctors can make an accurate diagnosis and decide the follow-up treatment plan.

Six examination items of sex hormones include luteinizing hormone (LH), follicle stimulating hormone (FSH), prolactin (PRL), estradiol (E2), progesterone (P) and testosterone (T). There are two main situations that need six tests of sex hormones:

1, when women have menstrual changes, accompanied by menopausal symptoms, it is helpful for doctors to correctly judge ovarian function by taking blood to check the level of sex hormones.

2. When a woman has menstrual disorder and no organic pathological changes in reproductive organs, it is suspected to be a gynecological endocrine disorder, such as hyperprolactinemia.
