If the menstruation is irregular, it is difficult to calculate the ovulation period, and it is also difficult to calculate the safe period.

9. Does regular menstruation mean that there is no endocrine disorder? What is the standard for normal female endocrine?

Answer: Sex hormone levels are affected by the hypothalamus, pituitary gland and ovaries. The hypothalamus is the "supreme headquarters" that releases a certain amount of hormones to issue instructions to the subordinates (pituitary gland). The pituitary gland also sends signals to regulate the subordinate glands. For the ovaries, this signal is the follicle-stimulating hormone and luteinizing hormone secreted by the pituitary gland, and prolactin is also produced during lactation. These hormones act on some organs, causing corresponding changes. If these regulatory mechanisms are out of balance, a series of manifestations will occur, which are called endocrine disorders. Regular menstruation only means that some of the regulatory mechanisms are normal, but it does not mean that there is no endocrine disorder.
