Follicle-Stimulating Hormone (FSH) and Luteinizing hormone (LH) are the sex hormones that play a critical role in maintaining the normal function of the male and female reproductive systems. They are secreted by the anterior pituitary gland and affect the ovaries and testes. Abnormal FSH and LH levels in the body are associated with several pathological conditions.
The FSH blood test is used to help screen, detect and diagnose problems related to sexual development, menstruation, menopause, polycystic ovary syndrome, and fertility in women. In men, the test can be utilized to detect the problems associated...

The FSH blood test is used to help screen, detect and diagnose problems related to sexual development, menstruation, menopause, polycystic ovary syndrome, and fertility in women. In men, the test can be utilized to detect the problems associated with fertility, testicle development.
The LH blood test checks the amount of luteinizing hormone, which is also secreted by the pituitary gland. In women, LH affects ovaries, and in men, it affects the testes. LH also plays a role in puberty, menstruation, and fertility.
