FSH (Follicle Stimulating Hormone)

This test measures follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH), a hormone involved in reproductive function and puberty. In females, FSH helps regulate ovarian function and menstrual cycles. In males, it supports sperm production. A healthcare professional may order this test to help evaluate menstrual irregularities, fertility concerns, menopausal status, delayed or early puberty, or possible pituitary or gonadal hormone-related conditions. Results are interpreted along with symptoms, age, and other hormone tests.
