Examinations for menopausal patients

Menopause is a problem that every female friend has to face, but many female friends may not be very clear about the examination of menopause and feel that there is no need to pay attention to it. However, if the knowledge of menopause is poor, it will also bring a lot of troubles to female friends. Therefore, it is very important to learn more. Let us listen to the opinions of experts below. I believe that after reading this, female friends can understand how to check menopause.

1. Blood follicular estrogen (FSH) determination.

2. Luteinizing hormone (LH) measurement.

3. Determination of total estrogen (TE).

4. Estrone (E) determination.

5. Estradiol (E2).

6. T3 (total triiodothyronine), T4 (total tetraiodothyronine) and TSH (thyroid stimulating hormone) were measured to exclude endocrine and metabolic disorders, hyperthyroidism and other diseases.

7. Blood total lipids, total cholesterol (Ch), triglycerides (TG), high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C) and low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C) were measured to exclude fat metabolism disorders.

8. Do a urine pregnancy test if necessary.

9. Vaginal or pelvic B-ultrasound to understand the condition of the uterus and adnexa and rule out organic gynecological diseases.

10. Vaginal exfoliated cell examination: Observing the cell morphology can reflect the estrogen level in the body.

11. X-rays show thinning of the bone cortex, enlarged intercortical pores of tubular bones, and loss of the specific trabecular bone structure of the femoral neck and trabecular bones (vertebral bodies), which may indicate osteoporosis.

12. Quantitative measurement of bone mineral density (BMD) reflects the degree of osteoporosis and is an important basis for predicting the risk of fractures.

The above are 12 methods for checking menopause. I believe they can help many female friends. Knowing more about women’s health knowledge is also a manifestation of female friends’ responsibility for their own health. It can also protect women’s health and let female friends have a healthy and beautiful life. It is also the basis for doctors’ treatment.
