    What Is an FSH Test?

    The Follicle-Stimulating Hormone (FSH) test measures the level of FSH in the blood. FSH is a reproductive hormone involved in the development of eggs in women and sperm in men.

    Produced by the pituitary gland, FSH helps regulate the menstrual cycle in women and the production of sperm in men. It works in conjunction with another hormone called luteinizing hormone (LH) and plays a vital role in fertility, puberty, and hormonal balance.

    This test is used to investigate causes of infertility, irregular menstrual cycles, early or delayed puberty, and suspected pituitary gland dysfunction.

    • Suspected menopause or early ovarian failure

    • Evaluation of hormone levels during fertility treatments

    In Men:

    • Low sperm count or infertility

    • Decreased muscle mass or low sex drive

    • Suspected pituitary gland disorders

    In Children:

    • Early or delayed puberty

    • Unusual growth of breasts, pubic hair, or early menstruation in girls

    • Testicular enlargement or penis growth in boys

    FSH levels are useful in determining causes of hormone imbalances and reproductive issues.

    FSH Test Results & Interpretation

    FSH levels vary by age, sex, and phase of the menstrual cycle. Results should be interpreted with other hormone tests like LH, estrogen, and testosterone.

    Normal Ranges:

    • Female (Follicular phase): 1.98 – 11.6 mIU/mL

    • Female (Mid-cycle peak): 5.14 – 23.4 mIU/mL

    • Female (Luteal phase): 1.38 – 9.58 mIU/mL

    • Post-menopausal women: 21.5 – 131 mIU/mL

    Male: 1.55 – 9.74 mIU/mL

    High FSH may suggest:

    • Ovarian failure or menopause in women

    • Testicular damage or genetic conditions like Klinefelter syndrome in men

    • Central precocious puberty in children

    Low FSH may be caused by:

    • Pituitary or hypothalamic disorders

    • Stress, malnutrition, or chronic illness

    Additional tests : LH, Prolactin, Estradiol, Testosterone, TSH
