High follicle stimulating hormone in women

Follicle-stimulating hormone is a relatively important hormone in the female body and plays an extremely important role in the female ovaries. Follicle-stimulating hormone has a certain normal value. If the follicle-stimulating hormone is too high, it means that there are certain problems with the health of the female reproductive system. Irregular menstruation, infertility and menopausal syndrome are also caused by this. Next, I will introduce to you some relevant knowledge about high levels of follicle-stimulating hormone in women!

1. Reasons for high levels of follicle-stimulating hormone in women

The phenomenon of high follicle-stimulating hormone in women is most likely due to gynecological diseases, such as pelvic inflammatory disease, abnormal leucorrhea, ovarian cysts, etc. These diseases may lead to high levels of follicle-stimulating hormone and may also cause female infertility. Once diagnosed, they must be treated immediately. Do not assume that they will heal on their own after a period of time. You must know that most diseases are not like colds and fevers that will heal on their own over time.

2. Symptoms of high follicle-stimulating hormone

1. Irregular menstruation

High levels of follicle-stimulating hormone in women's bodies will affect the development of the endometrium, preventing it from thickening and shedding smoothly, resulting in irregular menstruation. Many women think that their abnormal menstruation is due to too much stress. In fact, it is not necessarily the case. If this phenomenon lasts for a long time, it is recommended to go to the hospital for examination as soon as possible to see if it is caused by high levels of follicle-stimulating hormone.

2. Unable to get pregnant for a long time

It is difficult for women with high levels of follicle-stimulating hormone to become pregnant because their ovarian function has been damaged and they are unable to ovulate normally. Therefore, women who have been preparing for pregnancy for one or two years are advised to go to the hospital for a check-up.

3. Menopausal syndrome

Patients with high levels of follicle-stimulating hormone may also experience symptoms such as hot flashes, sweating, palpitations, headaches, and dizziness. This is because the patients are estrogen deficient and their vasoconstriction and dilation functions are also abnormal.

3. What to do if follicle-stimulating hormone is too high

High levels of follicle-stimulating hormone are mostly caused by problems with ovarian function or the reproductive system, so even if patients do not plan to have children for the time being, they should find the cause and receive treatment immediately to cure the disease that causes the high levels of follicle-stimulating hormone.

Let’s go back to the question of what to do if the follicle-stimulating hormone level is too high. The patient must receive treatment, and it is recommended that the patient chooses the hospital carefully. There are so many specialized hospitals of various sizes now that people don’t know how to make the right choice. In order to get better and more professional treatment, patients with high follicle-stimulating hormone levels need to choose a regular hospital with professional doctors.

On the other hand, in addition to being active and persistent in treatment, patients also need to pay attention to many details in life. The first thing is to stop staying up late, as it will disrupt your endocrine system and directly affect ovarian function. Secondly, patients who have the habit of smoking and drinking should quit these bad habits as soon as possible and maintain nutritious and healthy eating habits.
