Order FSH Blood TestThe FSH Blood Panel measures follicle-stimulating hormone and luteinizing hormone in a blood sample. These two hormones, often abbreviated FSH and LH, are produced by the pituitary gland and act on the gonads, the ovaries in women and the testes in men. Their concentrations shift across the menstrual cycle, the reproductive lifespan, and other physiological states, so the panel is interpreted alongside the clinical context rather than in isolation.
About FSH Blood Test in Normal
FSH and LH are central regulators of reproductive function, and measuring them together offers a broader view than either alone.
Follicle-stimulating hormone drives the growth and maturation of ovarian follicles in women and supports sperm production in men. Luteinizing hormone triggers ovulation and the formation of the corpus luteum in women, and stimulates testosterone production in men. Because the pituitary releases both hormones in a pulsatile pattern, a single blood draw captures a moment in a dynamic system.
The FSH Blood Panel is typically ordered when a clinician is evaluating irregular or absent menstruation, suspected pituitary or gonadal dysfunction, infertility, or symptoms that suggest a hormonal imbalance. In men, it may be used when low testosterone, impaired fertility, or delayed puberty is being investigated. Results are interpreted with the person's age, sex, symptoms, and often other hormone measurements.
Preparation and timing follow the laboratory's instructions, which may include a specific point in the menstrual cycle for some patients. Turnaround is generally one to three business days. Reference ranges vary by laboratory, age, and sex, so the report's own ranges are the appropriate guide for interpretation.
