What is a sex hormone six-item test?

Patient's question:

I got married last year. Recently, I've been experiencing lower abdominal pain, especially during my period. I'm very worried about it affecting my fertility, and I'm also extremely sensitive to cold and coldness. What is the six-item sex hormone test?

Doctor's answer:

Hello, general six-item tests are mostly performed by extracting serum for examination. It is recommended to conduct the test on the third day of the menstrual period. Polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) is a common complex endocrine and metabolic disorder in women of reproductive age, characterized by chronic anovulation and hyperandrogenism. The main clinical manifestations include irregular menstrual cycles, infertility, hirsutism and/or acne. It is the most common endocrine disorder in women. Treatment can involve medication, oral contraceptives, corticosteroids, and combination treatment with clomiphene. If medication is not effective, surgical treatment may be considered. Postoperative care and infection prevention are important.
