Follicle Stimulating Hormone
(FSH)

Do you experience fertility issues or irregularities in menstruation? Diagnosing reproductive health issues is one of the key benefits of the FSH test. Follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH) is a glycoprotein hormone produced by the anterior pituitary gland in the body and is involved in sexual development in males and females. The role of FSH is primarily associated with fertility in both males and females. In females, FSH is responsible for the production of sex hormones like oestrogen and progesterone. FSH is also a primary regulator of the menstrual cycle in females. Therefore, FSH levels tend to fluctuate with the phases of the menstrual cycle in females. In males, FSH mediates the development and maturation of sperms within the testicles.
