The FSH test measures the level of follicle-stimulating hormone, a hormone produced by the pituitary gland that plays a key role in reproductive health. In women, FSH helps regulate the menstrual cycle and supports ovarian follicle development. In men, it is involved in sperm production.
This test is commonly used to evaluate fertility, menstrual irregularities, menopausal status, and disorders of the ovaries or testes. It may also be used to assess pituitary function. FSH results are often interpreted alongside other hormones such as LH, estradiol, or testosterone for a more complete hormonal evaluation.
