Can amenorrhea be checked for six sex hormones?

Amenorrhea can be checked by six sex hormones, which can help to clarify the cause of amenorrhea, including whether the ovarian function, pituitary function and hypothalamic function are abnormal. The six sex hormones include follicle-stimulating hormone, luteinizing hormone, estradiol, progesterone, testosterone and prolactin. By testing these hormone levels, it can be determined whether amenorrhea is related to endocrine disorders, polycystic ovary syndrome, premature ovarian failure and other diseases.

1. The cause of amenorrhea may be related to many factors. Genetic factors may lead to ovarian dysfunction, such as a family history of premature ovarian failure. Environmental factors such as long-term mental stress, excessive dieting or strenuous exercise may also affect hormone secretion. Physiological factors include ovarian dysfunction, polycystic ovary syndrome, etc. Traumatic or surgical damage to the ovaries or pituitary gland may also lead to amenorrhea. Pathological factors such as abnormal thyroid function and hyperprolactinemia can also affect the menstrual cycle.

2. Six-item test of sex hormones is an important method for diagnosing amenorrhea. Follicle-stimulating hormone and luteinizing hormone levels can reflect ovarian function. Low estradiol levels may indicate ovarian dysfunction. Low progesterone levels may be related to luteal insufficiency. Elevated testosterone levels may indicate polycystic ovary syndrome. Elevated prolactin levels may be related to pituitary tumors or hyperprolactinemia.

3. According to the examination results, the treatment of amenorrhea varies from person to person. Drug treatment includes hormone replacement therapy, ovulation-inducing drugs such as clomiphene, and prolactin-lowering drugs such as bromocriptine. Surgical treatment is suitable for organic diseases such as pituitary tumors, including transsphenoidal surgery, craniotomy, etc. Dietary conditioning recommends increasing foods rich in phytoestrogens such as soy products and flax seeds. Exercise recommends moderate aerobic exercise such as yoga and brisk walking, and avoid excessive exercise.

The causes of amenorrhea are complex, and the six sex hormone tests are the key step to clarify the cause. Through comprehensive examination and analysis, a personalized treatment plan can be formulated. If amenorrhea occurs, it is recommended to seek medical attention as soon as possible, and conduct targeted treatment after the cause is determined. At the same time, pay attention to adjusting your lifestyle and maintaining healthy living habits.
