患者原帖:
I had miscarriage in 05/2011, then my periods are irregular since then. My periods were always between 24-25 in the past >20 years. I went to see doctor. Doctor ordered blood tests. Here is the results: FSH :14.4 and estrogen is <50 . They were done on the third day during the period.
Doctor thinks my FSH was a little high and my estrogen level was a little low. I maybe close to 更年期 and need to see 不孕 doctor. 我43歲,很想再要個小孩。我還有多大機會,應怎麽做?

初次回答:
1. 首先要明白究竟什麽原因造成激素失調?除此之外是否其它基本正常?不要因為急欲懷孕忽視身體潛在健康問題。
2. 前些天看到一個關於年齡和懷孕慮研究,40+的幾率是5-6%,不是狠樂觀。
3. 另外,要考慮一下潛在危險,包括高齡產婦和嬰兒遺傳缺陷增加的風險。
4. 如果身體健康良好,40+生育並不少見,但是建議順從自然為好。
5. 中醫針灸對某些人有幫助,但是一般保險不Cover.
再次回答:
今天的一個不孕患者,是個美國人,情況與您接近,37歲,六個月前流產,FSH偏高。
我的分析:
1. FSH升高是一個指征
女性月經周期是卵子成熟過程,是一個生理內分泌周期,涉及幾種激素的協調作用。既然是一個周期,每一個激素都會周期性變化,該升高是升高,該降低是降低。FSH居高不下,表明周期被破壞,可能沒有成熟卵子產生。
2. 之前流產原因是什麽?
如果不是偶然事故,要不就是嬰兒有遺傳缺陷,要不就是媽媽生理內分泌問題,很可能也是激素失調。懷孕後需要保持孕激素和雌激素比例,以防止再次進入月經周期而終止懷孕。
3. 內分泌失調原因是什麽?
可能是肌體內分泌和生殖功能的退化,即將進入絕經期;可能是內分泌功能暫時性紊亂。
前者都是器質性改變,治療很難;後者隻是功能性改變,相對容易調理。
上次懷孕失敗,身體尚未完全恢複;而急欲再次懷孕,精神壓力大,間接影響內分泌正常功能。
我的建議:
1. 因為該患者體虛偏胖,下肢容易發冷,基礎代謝率可能偏低。建議檢查甲狀腺激素;
2. 建議多活動,改善血液循環;
3. 建議全麵均衡營養,保證蛋白脂類和維生素需要;
4. 希望患者明白問題所在,不要有太多精神壓力;
5. 繼續針灸按摩,暫時不用中藥。
