Order FSH Blood TestThe FSH Blood Test measures the amount of follicle-stimulating hormone circulating in the bloodstream. FSH is a glycoprotein hormone produced by the anterior pituitary gland, and it plays a central role in reproductive function. Because its concentration shifts with age, sex, and physiological state, the test is interpreted against reference ranges rather than a single universal value.
About FSH Blood Test in Fallbrook
Follicle-stimulating hormone is one of the two gonadotropins, alongside luteinizing hormone, that the pituitary releases to regulate the gonads.
In people with ovaries, FSH drives the recruitment and maturation of ovarian follicles and stimulates estrogen production. Its level rises and falls across the menstrual cycle, and it climbs markedly after menopause as the ovaries become less responsive to stimulation.
In people with testes, FSH acts on Sertoli cells to support spermatogenesis. It works in concert with luteinizing hormone, which prompts testosterone production from Leydig cells, so the two are often assessed together.
Because FSH is released in pulses under the control of gonadotropin-releasing hormone from the hypothalamus, a single measurement reflects only one point in time. Clinicians therefore read the result alongside the patient's history, other hormone values, and the reason the test was ordered.
