Test Code

Follicle Stimulating Hormone (FSH) is produced by the anterior pituitary gland and plays a crucial role in the regulation of the reproductive system. In females, FSH stimulates the growth and maturation of ovarian follicles and helps regulate the menstrual cycle. In males, it supports sperm production by acting on the Sertoli cells of the testes.

Abnormal FSH levels may indicate conditions such as infertility, polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS), menopause, premature ovarian failure, pituitary disorders, or testicular dysfunction. The test is often interpreted along with LH, Estradiol, Testosterone, and Prolactin levels for accurate clinical assessment.
