The LH test measures the level of luteinizing hormone, a hormone produced by the pituitary gland that plays a key role in reproductive function. In women, LH helps regulate the menstrual cycle and triggers ovulation. In men, LH stimulates testosterone production.
This test is commonly used to evaluate fertility, menstrual irregularities, menopausal status, and disorders of the ovaries, testes, or pituitary gland. LH results are often interpreted alongside FSH and sex hormone levels for a more complete hormonal assessment.
