Follicle Stimulating Hormone near me in Nashik

Follicle Stimulating Hormone (FSH) is a hormone associated with reproductive functions such as development of eggs in women and sperms in men. The FSH test is ordered in case of a variety of problems such as difficulty getting pregnant, menstrual irregularities, low sex drive, and early or delayed puberty.

The low levels of FSH may indicate decreased ovulation in women, reduced sperm count in men, problems at the level of the hypothalamus or pituitary gland. High levels of FSH, on the other hand can be indicative of loss of ovarian function and menopause. FSH works closely with another hormone called luteinizing hormone (LH) to control sexual functions. Hence, the LH test is frequently ordered along with the FSH test.
