Hello,
Thank you for trusting HCM
High FSH, LH levels with high prolactin a gonadotroph/pituitary adenoma needs to be looked for. An MRI brain is recommended. TSH, antithyroid antibodies, morning serum cortisol is needed to rule out autoimmune disorders. In case of primary ovarian failure karyotype analysis to rule out turners syndrome is also recommended.
