Understanding Amenorrhoea Profile


What is Amenorrhoea Profile?

Absence of menstruation is called Amenorrhea. It can occur in the normal course of a female like Pregnancy, Breast feeding & Menopause. Lifestyle factors like stress, low body weight & exercise may also affect menstrual cycles. Other causes include problems with the reproductive organs or with the glands that help regulate hormone levels. Amenorrhoea Profile tests for the important hormones responsible for regulation of menstrual cycle.

Luteinising Hormone

The Luteinising Hormone test determines the level of luteinizing hormone that promotes the functioning of the gonads i.e,. testes in men and ovaries in women. LH is produced by the pituitary gland, a pea-sized gland situated at the base of the brain. The production and release of LH are controlled by a system known as the hypothalamic-pituitary-gonadal axis. A hormone called gonadotropin-releasing hormone is released from the hypothalamus of the brain and binds on the cell receptors in the anterior pituitary gland, which in turn prompts the synthesis and release of luteinizing hormone. LH then travels across the blood and attaches to its target cells in the testes in men and ovaries in women, to facilitate optimal sexual and reproductive activities.

TSH (Thyroid Stimulating Hormone) Ultrasensitive

A TSH (Thyroid Stimulating Hormone) Ultrasensitive test measures the levels of TSH hormone in the blood. TSH is produced by the pituitary gland located in the brain. Its function is to stimulate and regulate the functioning of the thyroid gland. It signals the thyroid gland to increase or decrease the production of thyroid hormones T3 and T4 (essential for regulating our body’s metabolism, temperature, heart rate, and growth) when their levels are low or high, respectively. Therefore, when the levels of T3 & T4 decrease, the pituitary gland is stimulated to release TSH. This high TSH level, in turn, stimulates the thyroid gland to release more thyroid hormones (T3 & T4); the vice-versa happens when the levels of thyroid hormones increase.

Progesterone

The progesterone test measures the level of progesterone in the blood, a hormone crucial for preparing a female’s body for pregnancy. It works in conjunction with several other female hormones like estrogen, luteinizing hormone, etc. Each month, estrogen prompts the uterus lining to grow. Ovulation occurs with a surge in luteinizing hormone, releasing an egg. The formed corpus luteum(tissue mass) produces progesterone. If no fertilization happens, progesterone drops, leading to menstrual bleeding. In pregnancy, the corpus luteum and later the placenta produce progesterone. 

A Progesterone test helps assess various aspects of ovulation, fertility, and the early stages of pregnancy. Monitoring of progesterone levels provides valuable insights into reproductive health and hormonal balance.

Follicle Stimulating Hormone

A Follicle Stimulating Hormone test measures the level of FSH in your body. FSH is produced and subsequently released into the blood by the pituitary gland. Its production is controlled by a feedback mechanism involving gonadotropin-releasing hormone situated in the hypothalamus in the brain. The released FSH travels through your blood and then attaches to receptors in the ovaries and testes and exerts its functional effects on the reproductive organs, such as sexual development, puberty and maturation. FSH levels vary throughout the menstrual cycle in response to estradiol and progesterone. Any disruption or issue in this feedback mechanism can prevent normal function of the testicles or ovaries. Thus determining its level provides crucial information regarding your health.
