Doctor's answer (1)
Dr. Chen Zhe
Elevated follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH) levels may indicate the onset of menopause. High FSH levels suggest impaired ovarian reserve function. Excessively high FSH can lead to irregular menstruation and reduced menstrual flow. Treatment options include oral administration of Kuntai capsules, or estrogen and progesterone therapy. In daily life, patients may also consume jujubes, donkey-hide gelatin (ejiao), and other substances known to have blood-nourishing effects.
