Cost of endocrine disorder examination

Patient's question:

Female, 32 years old. How much does an endocrine disorder check cost? Once, I never paid attention, but now it's very irregular. Sometimes it comes after three or four months, and sometimes after half a year. I don't even know when it will come. Ultrasound examination of the uterus, adnexa, and pelvic cavity is normal. Because I used to work night shifts all the time, could it be just a simple endocrine problem?

Doctor's answer:

Hello, in the female endocrine test report, we can see several indicators: LH (Luteinizing Hormone), FSH (Follicle-Stimulating Hormone), PRL (Prolactin), PROG (Progesterone), and E2 (Estrogen Testosterone).
1. Luteinizing hormone and follicle-stimulating hormone primarily promote follicular development and ovulation. Elevated levels may indicate amenorrhea or infertility.
2. Elevated prolactin may suggest a pituitary tumor or hypothyroidism.
3. Low progesterone indicates hypofunction of the pituitary and ovaries, which may be due to anovulation, menstrual disorders, or threatened miscarriage.
4. Ovarian tumors or pregnancy may both result in elevated estrogen levels. If levels are low, other causes such as gonadal dysgenesis or ovarian failure may be considered.
5. Elevated testosterone may indicate polycystic ovary syndrome.
