Does taking medication affect the six hormone tests?

Patient's question:

Due to the previous miscarriage, I plan to get a check-up for the six sex hormones (on the third day of the menstrual period) this Thursday (July 29th). However, I have taken some medications beforehand and am unsure if they will affect the test results. Here are the details: From July 7th to July 13th, I took Fuping capsules. From July 8th to July 12th, I took traditional Chinese medicine for uterine fibroids (I had taken a period of Guizhi Fuling pills before starting the TCM). From July 20th to 23rd, I took cold medicine.

Doctor's answer:

Analysis of the condition: Hello! According to your description, the impact should not be significant. Suggestions: Sex hormone levels are generally influenced by the hypothalamic-pituitary-ovarian axis. If you take hormone-containing medications, there might be some effects, but most of the medications you are taking are traditional Chinese medicines and do not contain sex hormones, so the impact should be minimal. Wishing you good health.
