What is FSH?
Follicle-Stimulating Hormone (FSH) is an essential biomarker that plays a crucial role in the body's reproductive processes. It regulates growth, development, puberty, and the body's reproductive processes.
Why should you have FSH tested?
Testing FSH levels can be particularly useful for individuals who want insight into their fertility, or who are experiencing issues with their menstrual cycle, puberty, or menopause. It can also be beneficial in diagnosing certain conditions related to the reproductive organs.
What does it indicate?
FSH levels can provide indications about the health of the reproductive organs and functions. In women, it can offer insight into ovarian reserve or the approach of menopause. In men, it can point to the health of the testes and sperm production.
What does a high FSH level mean?
A high FSH level may indicate reduced fertility, early menopause in women, or problems with the testes in men, such as reduced sperm production.
What does a low FSH level mean?
A low FSH level may suggest a condition affecting the pituitary gland or hypothalamus, which can lead to problems with fertility or the development of sexual characteristics.
