Due to the fact that women with normal and regular menstruation are generally considered to have normal endocrine function and ovulation, there is no need to test the six items of sex hormones. Women who are undergoing in vitro fertilization only need to test the six items of sex hormones to prepare. You can also monitor ovulation by measuring basal body temperature or ovulation test strips, and then arrange for sexual activity.

1. For patients with long, long, and low menstrual periods, it is recommended to add thyroid function testing in addition to the six items of sexual hormones. If conditions permit, it is also recommended to check for anti Mullerian hormone AMH. Polycystic ovary syndrome, hyperprolactinemia, ovarian dysfunction, hypothyroidism, and other factors are the main causes of this phenomenon. Two to five days after the onset of menstruation in women, it is the early follicular phase where blood is drawn to test for six sex hormones. If amenorrhea occurs for two to three months, blood can be drawn directly. The occurrence of follicle stimulating hormone FSH, estradiol E2, luteinizing hormone LH, estradiol E2, and other hormones in women can lead to menstrual bleeding. Only in the first week before predicting the next menstrual cycle can their reserve function be accurately reflected; The pregnancy hormone P test cannot meet these two requirements. It is normal for women to monitor luteinizing hormone LH and estradiol E2 before ovulation, and progesterone P after ovulation.

2. Older women over 35 years old should be prepared, or those with a history of recurrent miscarriage, or those who have not passed the preparation for more than 1 year, can undergo a sex hormone test.

3. Hormonal drugs should not be used before the examination. If they have already been used, the examination should be conducted after the hormones have been completely eliminated to avoid affecting future examinations.

4. If a man has symptoms of abnormal semen, he should go to the hospital to check for six sexual hormones, such as oligospermia, weak sperm, dead sperm, erectile dysfunction, hormone related tumors, etc.

Sexual hormones are an important indicator for evaluating female reproductive function, so before undergoing in vitro testing, it is necessary to do the six items of sexual hormones. I hope everyone has a general understanding of this. In short, the six tests for sex hormones are not necessary for every woman preparing for pregnancy. For women with normal menstrual cycles, a comprehensive pre pregnancy examination can be done directly after preparing for pregnancy. Both males and females who undergo in vitro fertilization need to undergo six levels of sex hormones.
