    What is Follicle Stimulating Hormone (FSH) Test?

    A follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH) test checks the levels of FSH in your blood. FSH is vital for reproductive health in both sexes. In women, FSH helps regulate the menstrual cycle and stimulates the ovaries to produce eggs. It assists in the maturation of eggs and prepares them for ovulation, the process when an egg is released from the ovary for fertilization. In men, FSH is involved in sperm production in the testicles and helps maintain sperm health. In children, FSH levels remain low until they reach puberty. At the start of puberty, FSH triggers significant physical changes. In girls, it signals the ovaries to produce oestrogen, leading to breast development and the onset of menstruation. In boys, FSH prompts the testicles to produce testosterone, driving body hair growth, voice changes, and sperm production. Abnormal FSH levels, whether too high or too low, may indicate problems with the pituitary gland (a tiny brain gland), the hypothalamus (a brain region), or the reproductive organs (ovaries or testicles). Monitoring FSH levels helps doctors diagnose and manage reproductive health conditions.

    Follicle Stimulating Hormone (FSH) Test Parameters

    The FSH test measures one key parameter: the amount of follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH) present in the blood. FSH is an essential protein made up of two subunits: alpha and beta. The beta subunit is specific to FSH, whereas the alpha subunit is also found in other hormones, including LH (luteinising hormone), TSH (thyroid-stimulating hormone), and hCG (human chorionic gonadotropin). FSH is produced by the pituitary gland, a small gland at the base of the brain. The hypothalamus, located in the brain, sends signals to the pituitary gland to regulate FSH production. In women, when oestrogen levels rise, FSH production is reduced. In men, FSH levels are regulated by inhibin B. Testing FSH levels in the blood is vital for assessing reproductive health and identifying fertility problems.

    Follicle Stimulating Hormone (FSH) Test Preparation

    Consider the following before scheduling an FSH Test in Mumbai:

    • Prerequisites

    You do not need to fast before an FSH Test.

    • Best Time to Get Tested

    This test can be taken at any time of the day.

    • Who Should Get This Test

    The FSH test is recommended for women experiencing issues like irregular periods, infertility, or signs of menopause. Men with fertility concerns may also benefit from this test. It is also used to monitor patients receiving reproductive disorder treatments.

    • Cautions Before Taking This Test

    No specific preparation is usually required before the FSH test, but it’s advisable to consult your doctor to ensure that the test is appropriate for your condition.

    Why Take the Follicle Stimulating Hormone (FSH) Test?

    The FSH test is important for identifying conditions caused by abnormal levels of follicle-stimulating hormone. The need for this test varies with age and gender.

    For women, an FSH test might be recommended if: ● You’ve been trying to conceive for over a year without success. ● Your menstrual periods are irregular or have completely stopped. ● You are 45 years or older, as elevated FSH levels can indicate perimenopause or menopause. However, even younger women showing signs of early menopause or low sexual drive may require testing.

    For men, this test is helpful if: ● You and your partner haven’t been able to conceive after trying for 12 months. ● You’ve noticed a decline in sexual interest. ● You have a low sperm count, or you're experiencing muscle loss or decreased body hair.

    Both men and women may also need an FSH test if their doctor suspects a pituitary gland issue, affecting fertility and sexual desire, or if children/teens show signs of puberty beginning too early or being delayed.

    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

    Increased FSH levels in women could indicate menopause or primary ovarian insufficiency, a condition where the ovaries do not function properly. In men, higher-than-normal FSH may indicate primary hypogonadism, where testosterone production is insufficient.

    Lower FSH levels, on the other hand, may signal primary ovarian dysfunction in women or primary hypogonadism in men. Additionally, women with polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) often exhibit low FSH levels. Keeping track of FSH levels is critical for understanding reproductive health and diagnosing fertility concerns.

    • Myself, 'Mr. Prasad Parab'. My wife 'Mrs. Pooja Pednekar' works in a reputed MNC organization, in Mumbai. Post the covid pandemic, the organization offers company sponsored full body health check up for all of its employees as part of its employee wellness program. My wife availed the service for the first time today. The designated lab assigned for the sample collection at home was 'Orange Health Labs'. The technician name was 'Mr. Afraz Poonawala'. Mr. Afraz was courteous and went about his duty diligently. He was patient enough to wait for 10-15 minutes as my wife was running late as she had to run some urgent errands at home. The blood sample collection was swift and painless. I would want to suggest 'Orange Health Labs' to everyone as I found its service to be excellent. Many thanks 'Orange Health Labs' and a special thanks to 'Mr. Afraz Poonawala' for your professionalism and excellent service.
