    What is Follicle Stimulating Hormone (FSH) Test?

    A follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH) test measures how much FSH is present in your blood. FSH is important for reproductive health in both men and women. In women, FSH regulates the menstrual cycle and stimulates the ovaries to produce eggs. It helps eggs mature and prepares them for ovulation, the release of an egg from the ovary for fertilization. In men, FSH contributes to sperm production in the testicles and helps keep sperm healthy. In children, FSH levels are usually low until puberty begins. Once puberty starts, FSH triggers key physical changes. In girls, it prompts the ovaries to produce oestrogen, which leads to breast growth and menstruation. In boys, FSH signals the testicles to produce testosterone, leading to body hair growth, voice changes, and sperm production. When FSH levels are too high or too low, it may point to issues with the pituitary gland (a small gland in the brain), the hypothalamus (a brain area), or the reproductive organs (ovaries or testicles). Regular monitoring of FSH levels helps doctors identify and manage reproductive health concerns.

    Follicle Stimulating Hormone (FSH) Test Parameters

    The FSH test measures one key parameter: the level of follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH) in your blood. FSH is an important protein composed of two subunits: alpha and beta. The beta subunit is unique to FSH, while the alpha subunit is also present in other hormones like LH (luteinising hormone), TSH (thyroid-stimulating hormone), and hCG (human chorionic gonadotropin). The pituitary gland, located at the base of the brain, produces FSH. The hypothalamus, a brain region, controls how much FSH is produced by signalling the pituitary. In women, when oestrogen levels are elevated, FSH production decreases. In men, a hormone called inhibin B helps manage FSH levels. Measuring FSH in the blood is crucial for evaluating reproductive health and diagnosing fertility issues.

    Follicle Stimulating Hormone (FSH) Test Preparation

    Consider the following before scheduling an FSH Test in Delhi:

    • Prerequisites

    Fasting is not required before taking an FSH Test.

    • Best Time to Get Tested

    The FSH test can be scheduled at any time during the day.

    • Who Should Get This Test

    The test is recommended for women dealing with irregular menstruation, infertility, or menopause symptoms. Men facing fertility issues might also require this test. It can also be used to track progress in patients receiving treatment for reproductive problems.

    • Cautions Before Taking This Test

    No special preparation is typically needed before this test. However, it's important to speak with your doctor to ensure the test is necessary for your health needs.

    Why Take the Follicle Stimulating Hormone (FSH) Test?

    An FSH test is crucial for diagnosing conditions linked to abnormal follicle-stimulating hormone levels. The reason for taking this test can depend on your age and gender.

    For women, an FSH test may be necessary if: ● You've been trying to conceive for over 12 months without success. ● Your menstrual cycles are irregular or have stopped completely. ● You are 45 or older, as high FSH levels might signal perimenopause or menopause. However, if you're experiencing early menopause symptoms or a drop in sexual desire, testing may still be needed.

    For men, the test is useful if: ● You've been trying to conceive with your partner for over a year with no success. ● You've noticed a reduction in sexual desire. ● Your sperm count is low, or you're losing muscle mass and body hair.

    Both men and women may require an FSH test if the doctor suspects a pituitary gland disorder, which can impact fertility and sexual drive, or if children and teenagers exhibit signs of early or delayed puberty

    Follicle Stimulating Hormone (FSH) Test Results and Interpretation

    Normal FSH levels differ based on sex and menstrual cycle phases.

    Men: Normal FSH levels range from 1.55 to 9.74 mIU/mL.

    Women:

    • Follicular Phase (Days 1 to 13): 1.98 to 11.6 mIU/mL

    • Mid-cycle Peak (Around Day 14): 5.14 to 23.4 mIU/mL

    • Luteal Phase (Days 15 to 28): 1.38 to 9.58 mIU/mL

    • Post-Menopause: 21.5 to 131 mIU/mL

    Elevated FSH levels in women may point to menopause or primary ovarian insufficiency, suggesting the ovaries aren’t functioning correctly. In men, high FSH can indicate primary hypogonadism, which leads to reduced testosterone production.

    On the other side, low FSH levels might indicate ovarian dysfunction in women or primary hypogonadism in men. Women with polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) may also show lower FSH levels. Monitoring FSH is essential for diagnosing fertility issues and evaluating reproductive health.

    • Good service .Instant visits. Only thing is the TAT(time) for some test is like too high, e.g CBC by other labs comes in 2 hrs whereas here with orange lab it is set for 6 hrs. An achievable & relaistic value here would be TAT max 4 hrs from time of collection of sample for the result of CBC to arrive. They should revise their TAT accordingly on app and website.
