How does menopausal woman hormone change?

Menopause is a necessary physiological process in women's life. The arrival of menopause indicates the failure of ovarian function and the termination of reproductive capacity. In the menopausal period, the hormone level will appear different changes. In the transitional period of menopause, the estrogen level of early women is fluctuating, mainly due to the excessive secretion of estradiol caused by the excessive stimulation of FSH on follicles. At this time, the estrogen level will be higher than the normal level of follicles.

In the menopausal transition period, even if the estrogen level remains relatively stable, the tolerance of follicles to FSH will gradually increase. However, the level of gonadotropin increased in the transitional period of menopause, showing a fluctuating pattern, so LH was still in the normal range, but FSH / LH was still < 1. Prolactin, in the menopausal transition period, because estrogen has the function of adrenal depletion, it can inhibit the secretion of prolactin inhibitory factor (PIF) in the lower brain, so it will increase the level of prolactin.

When women are in menopause, the hormone level, hormone production mode and function of women will change greatly, including estrogen, progesterone and androgen. Although the amount of estrogen secreted by ovaries of postmenopausal women can be ignored, the amount of estrone and estriol in postmenopausal women can still be measured, The level of estrogen was 50-300 pg / ml. However, when the ovarian function stopped, the level of estrogen remained at 100 pg / ml. High levels of estrogen can protect bones.
