FSH

Follicle-Stimulating Hormone (FSH) is a crucial reproductive hormone in both men and women, produced by the pituitary gland. In women, it stimulates the ovaries to mature egg follicles; in men, it aids in the production of sperm. FSH levels fluctuate throughout a woman's menstrual cycle and are integral to fertility and reproductive health.

Who would benefit from testing their FSH levels?

Women who have irregular menstrual cycles, are undergoing fertility treatments, or are entering menopause may find it particularly useful.

What are symptoms of High or Low FSH?

High FSH:

    • In women: Irregular or absent menstrual cycles, hot flashes, reduced libido.
    • In men: Reduced muscle mass, low libido, infertility issues.

Low FSH:

    • In women: Lack of menstruation, infertility.
    • In men: Low sperm count, delayed or absent puberty, infertility.

How does age affect FSH levels?

FSH levels typically increase in women as they approach menopause. In men, age-related changes in FSH levels are less pronounced.
