FSH

Follicle-Stimulating Hormone (FSH) is vital for sexual development and reproductive health in both men and women. This simple blood test measures the FSH level, a hormone released by your pituitary gland that stimulates egg production in women and sperm production in men. Getting your FSH level checked can help diagnose issues like infertility, menopause, and pituitary disorders. It is often tested alongside Luteinizing Hormone (LH) to provide a complete picture of reproductive function. Understanding your FSH status offers critical insight into managing fertility concerns or investigating the cause of early or delayed puberty in children.
