Can I get a six-item sex hormone test right after my period ends?
Sex hormone tests (six-item panel) can generally be performed right after menstruation ends, and this timing usually does not affect the test results. The detailed explanation is as follows:
The six-item sex hormone panel is an examination assessing female hormone levels, which needs to be conducted at specific times to ensure its clinical relevance. For example, hormone levels are relatively stable between 3 to 5 days after the onset of menstruation. If testing is delayed until one week after menstruation ends, the accuracy of the results may decrease due to significant fluctuations in hormone levels. However, immediately after menstruation ends, hormone levels are still relatively stable; therefore, conducting the six-item sex hormone test at this time is generally acceptable and unlikely to produce abnormal effects on the test results.
If abnormal hormone levels are detected, it is recommended to promptly visit the obstetrics and gynecology department of a hospital for proper medical treatment to help improve the condition.
