Description
About FSH - Follicle Stimulating Hormone (FSH) Test
The Follicle Stimulating Hormone (FSH) test measures the level of FSH hormone in ...
the blood. FSH is produced by the pituitary gland and plays a crucial role in the reproductive system of both men and women. It regulates ovarian function and egg production in women and sperm production in men. This test is commonly used to assess fertility, hormonal balance, and reproductive health disorders.
When is the FSH Test Prescribed?
Doctors may recommend an FSH test in various cases:
For Women:
- Irregular or absent menstrual cycles (amenorrhea).
- Difficulty conceiving (infertility evaluation).
- Early or delayed menopause.
- Polycystic Ovary Syndrome (PCOS) diagnosis.
- To check ovarian reserve before fertility treatments like IVF.
For Men:
- Low sperm count or infertility issues.
- Testicular dysfunction or low testosterone levels.
- Delayed or early puberty in boys.
For Children:
- Diagnosing precocious (early) or delayed puberty.
- Evaluating growth and sexual development concerns.
Preparations for the FSH Test
- Fasting is not required for the FSH test.
- Women may need to schedule the test on a specific day of their menstrual cycle (commonly Day 3).
- Avoid excessive exercise, smoking, and alcohol before the test, as they may affect hormone levels.
- Inform your doctor about any medications (especially birth control pills or hormone therapy) as they can influence FSH levels.
Time Required for the Report + Next Steps
- The FSH test report is usually available within 24–48 hours.
- If results show high FSH levels, it may indicate menopause, ovarian failure, or testicular dysfunction.
- If low FSH levels are detected, it could suggest pituitary gland issues or hormonal imbalances.
- Based on the results, your doctor may recommend further hormonal tests, ultrasound scans, or fertility treatments to address reproductive health concerns.
