How six hormones determine polycystic disease

Among the six hormone tests, if the ratio of luteinizing hormone to follicle-stimulating hormone exceeds 2, and the testosterone level is elevated, accompanied by symptoms such as oligomenorrhea or amenorrhea, it may indicate polycystic ovary syndrome.

An abnormal ratio of luteinizing hormone to follicle stimulating hormone is one of the typical manifestations of polycystic ovary syndrome. Under normal circumstances, the ratio between the two is close to 1. When the ratio exceeds 2, it may indicate abnormal ovarian function. Elevated testosterone levels are also an important indicator. Women's testosterone levels exceeding the normal range may be accompanied by symptoms of hyperandrogen such as increased body hair and acne. Some patients also experience elevated anti-Müllerian hormone levels, reflecting an increased number of ovarian antral follicles. Mild elevation of prolactin may be related to hypothalamic-pituitary-ovarian axis dysfunction. Fluctuating estradiol levels may occur in some patients, but this is not necessary for diagnosis.

In daily life, you should pay attention to maintaining a regular schedule and avoid staying up late and excessive fatigue. In terms of diet, it is recommended to choose low-glycemic index foods, control the intake of refined carbohydrates, and appropriately increase high-quality protein and dietary fiber. Moderate exercise can help improve insulin sensitivity, and 150 minutes of moderate-intensity aerobic exercise per week is recommended. Psychological stress may aggravate endocrine disorders. Stress can be relieved through meditation, deep breathing and other methods. Regular review of hormone levels and treatment as prescribed by your doctor is key.
