FSH LH Profile

Service Description

Biomarker: FSH (Follicle-Stimulating Hormone) & LH (Luteinizing Hormone) Sample: BLOOD Results: 4 HRS Phlebotomy fee: Included FSH It is a hormone produced by the pituitary gland that plays a crucial role in the reproductive processes of both men and women. In women, FSH helps control the menstrual cycle and stimulates the growth of eggs in the ovaries. In men, FSH is important for the production of sperm. Importance: - Evaluate fertility issues. - Diagnose or assess pituitary gland disorders. - Evaluate menstrual irregularities in women. - Determine the cause of early or delayed puberty in children. - Assess ovarian reserve in women. High Levels of FSH: In Women: - Menopause. - Primary ovarian insufficiency (premature ovarian failure). - Turner syndrome . - Polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS). - Poor ovarian reserve. In Men: - Klinefelter syndrome . - Testicular failure. Low Levels of FSH: In Women: - Polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS). - Hypothalamic suppression (due to stress, extreme weight loss, or excessive exercise). - Hypopituitarism (decreased hormone production by the pituitary gland). In Men: - Hypogonadotropic hypogonadism (reduced function of the gonads). - Pituitary disorders. LH : LH is another hormone produced by the pituitary gland that is vital for reproductive health. In women, LH triggers ovulation (the release of an egg from the ovary) and helps regulate the menstrual cycle. In men, LH stimulates the production of testosterone, which is essential for sperm production. Importance - Evaluate fertility issues. - Diagnose or assess pituitary gland disorders. - Evaluate menstrual irregularities and ovarian function in women. - Determine the cause of early or delayed puberty in children. High Levels of LH: In Women: - Menopause. - PCOS. - Primary ovarian insufficiency (premature ovarian failure). - Turner syndrome. In Men: - Klinefelter syndrome. - Testicular failure. Low Levels of LH: In Women: - Hypothalamic amenorrhea (due to stress, extreme weight loss, or excessive exercise). - Hypopituitarism. In Men: - Hypogonadotropic hypogonadism. - Pituitary disorders.
