FSH and LH Test

The Follicle-Stimulating Hormone (FSH) and Luteinizing Hormone (LH) tests measure the levels of the respective hormones in your blood. FSH/LH testing is used in the workup of infertility (for both men and women). These tests are also to investigate low sperm count, menstrual irregularities, pitutary disorders and diseases involving the testes or ovaries. These tests may be used to determine the cause of early or delayed puberty.

In women FSH stimulates the production of eggs and is important in the regulation of menstruation. In men FSH stimulates the production of sperm.

In women an acute rise in LH stimulates ovulation. In men LH stimulates the production of testosterone by Leydig cells within the testes.

A significant deviation from the normal range may require further evaluation by your physician.
