What are the six hormones of menopause?

Patient's question:

Hello, what are the six hormones of female menopause? What are the functions of these six hormones respectively?

Doctor's answer:

Hello! It's a pleasure to help you clarify your doubts. Sex hormones are primarily the key hormones that maintain a woman's menstrual cycle, mainly including estrogen, progesterone, testosterone, prolactin, luteinizing hormone, and follicle-stimulating hormone. These hormones mainly affect a woman's menstrual cycle through the cyclical release of the ovaries, leading to menopause. If these hormones are disrupted, the menstrual cycle will also be disrupted. The role of these six hormones—progesterone, estrogen, and prolactin—is to regulate a woman's endocrine function and ensure that her menstrual cycle remains normal. Normal secondary sexual characteristics are essential for women to maintain their normal physiological and perinatal functions.
