How to test the six items of ovarian hormones

Generally, the six-item ovarian hormone test can be conducted through blood tests, secretion examinations, physical examinations, B-ultrasound, and ultrasound imaging. The specific methods are as follows:

1. Blood Test

Blood tests help assess whether a woman's ovarian function is normal by measuring the six key sex hormones: follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH), luteinizing hormone (LH), prolactin, androstenedione, progesterone, and estradiol. Evaluating these six sex hormones allows for the detection of abnormal ovarian function, such as premature ovarian failure or polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS).

2. Secretion Examination

A sample of vaginal discharge (leukorrhea) can be collected and analyzed to assess hormone levels in the body. Elevated levels may indicate abnormal ovarian function.

3. Physical Examination

A doctor performs a pelvic examination using palpation to evaluate the size, shape, and texture of the ovaries and determine if they appear normal.

4. B-Ultrasound

B-ultrasound uses sound waves to examine the ovaries, providing information about their size, shape, and presence of organic lesions such as fibroids or adenomyosis. This method can also detect ovarian cysts or tumors.

5. Ultrasound Imaging

Ultrasound is one of the commonly used methods for ovarian evaluation. It generates images based on sound wave reflections, allowing visualization of the ovarian structure, size, shape, and any abnormalities. Ultrasound is generally comfortable for women and provides clear imaging results.

Women are advised to avoid smoking and alcohol, and to consume more protein-rich foods, such as low-fat dairy products, fish, shrimp, and legumes.
