What tests are needed to check for endocrine disorders?

Patient's question:

I recently feel like it might be approaching menopause. I've always felt very irritable and easily agitated. Also, recently, my leukorrhea has been a bit more than usual and it's a bit yellow, which should be due to endocrine disorder. What tests are needed for a thorough check of endocrine disorder?

Doctor's answer:

Detailed examination of endocrine disorders generally involves testing the concentration of hormones in the body. In addition to timely dynamic monitoring, the adjustment function of the organ is also examined. Furthermore, in addition to checking the function of target cells and receptors, imaging tests are usually required. For example, the diurnal rhythm of ACTH cortisol, the monthly rhythm of luteinizing hormone and follicle-stimulating hormone, etc. The disappearance of normal rhythms is often an early sign of glandular dysfunction. In fact, it is not necessary to be afraid of gynecological diseases. Patients should believe that they can overcome the illness. As long as timely treatment is provided when the disease is detected early, the chances of suppressing the condition and recovery are very high.
