How to read the sex hormone report form
The six commonly used sex hormones, namely follicle stimulating hormone (FSH), luteinizing hormone (LH), estradiol (E2), progesterone (P), testosterone (T), prolactin (PRL), and sex hormones, all have their normal values, as stated in this report. But in fact, each item has its own eugenics value. The eugenic values of FSH and LH are both 510mIU/ml. Regardless of which is used as the numerator or denominator, the ratio of FSH and LH should be controlled between 0.7 and 1.5. If LH/FSH is greater than 3, it is polycystic. FSH/LH levels greater than 1 indicate a tendency towards decreased ovarian reserve function. Reduced ovarian function, high secretion, and high fertility are the most common culprits causing empty cysts and infertility. Progesterone: Blood is drawn seven days after ovulation, and a value greater than 15ng/ml indicates ovulation, good luteal function, and 20 or above meets the requirements for eugenics. Officially confirmed pregnancy, progesterone level greater than 25ng/ml, HCG doubling every other day is good, generally not an ectopic pregnancy. Estradiol: Mature follicles with estrogen levels above 200pg/ml indicate good egg quality.
What are the precautions for sex hormone testing
The measurement of sex hormone levels is mainly done through blood sampling. It is generally required that the examinee has not taken hormones within 3 months, rest for at least 10 minutes before blood draw, and avoid vigorous exercise. Due to the pulsatile release of prolactin, there are significant differences in levels between different time periods. Therefore, when checking prolactin, it should be done around 10 o'clock in the morning when you are neither hungry nor full. In addition, do not undergo breast examination before blood draw to avoid increasing prolactin levels due to breast stimulation.
