What to do about high luteinizing hormone levels
The examination revealed elevated levels of luteinizing hormone. I've heard this may be related to polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) or diminished ovarian reserve. What should I do? What treatments are needed, and are there any dietary considerations?

Elevated levels of luteinizing hormone may be related to various factors, including but not limited to polycystic ovary syndrome, menopause, and medication effects.
It is recommended to maintain healthy eating habits, engage in moderate exercise, control body weight, and avoid excessive stress, all of which can help regulate hormone levels. Maintaining a cheerful mood and avoiding excessive repression and anxiety can help maintain the stability of the endocrine system.
Consult an endocrinologist or gynecologist for a comprehensive health evaluation and necessary examinations to determine the specific cause of elevated luteinizing hormone levels. The doctor may prescribe medications to regulate hormone levels based on the individual condition. Traditional Chinese medicine regulation is also a possible option, but must be conducted under the guidance of a qualified physician.
Even after starting treatment, regular blood tests should be conducted to monitor luteinizing hormone and other relevant hormone levels, as well as overall health status. Psychological well-being is also important when facing health issues, and psychological counseling or support groups should be sought when necessary.
