What is FOLLICLE STIMULATING HORMONE(FSH)?

The Follicle Stimulating Hormone (FSH) test measures the level of this crucial hormone, produced by the pituitary gland, which plays a vital role in reproductive health. In women, FSH stimulates the growth of ovarian follicles, while in men, it aids in sperm production.

Why is this test important?

This test is used to evaluate fertility issues, menstrual irregularities, and menopausal status in women, and to assess testicular function and sperm production in men. Abnormal FSH levels can indicate underlying hormonal imbalances or reproductive disorders.

How to Prepare

For women, the timing of the test relative to the menstrual cycle may be important. Please consult your doctor for specific instructions.
