FOLLICLE STIMULATING HORMONE (FSH)
What does FOLLICLE STIMULATING HORMONE (FSH) measure?
This test measures the level of follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH), a hormone involved in reproductive function. In females, FSH helps regulate menstrual cycle activity and egg development; in males, it supports sperm production. It may be used to evaluate fertility concerns, menstrual irregularities, puberty-related changes, or possible changes in pituitary or ovarian/testicular function. Results are interpreted alongside age, sex, medical history, and other hormone tests.
