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 reproductive processes of the body.
Why should you have FSH tested?
Testing FSH levels can be particularly useful for individuals seeking insight into their fertility, or experiencing problems 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 indicate a condition affecting the pituitary gland or hypothalamus, which can lead to problems with fertility or the development of sexual characteristics.
Frequently asked questions
Answers to what people usually want to know.
How does it work from order to result?
After ordering we generate a referral letter and email you the instructions. You pick a collection point yourself and book an appointment there. Blood is drawn at the location, processed at the lab, and your result arrives digitally.
How quickly can I get tested?
Usually very quickly. Collection points typically have slots within a few days, sometimes even same-day. It depends on how busy the location is. For a few specialist analyses we first ship collection materials, which takes a bit longer.
Do I need to book an appointment?
At most collection points yes. Some accept walk-ins. This is clearly indicated per location. You choose the location that works best for you.
