About FSH Blood Test in Hayward
Follicle-stimulating hormone and luteinizing hormone are the primary signals the pituitary sends to the reproductive organs.
In people with ovaries, FSH drives the recruitment and maturation of ovarian follicles, while LH triggers ovulation and supports the corpus luteum. In people with testes, FSH acts on Sertoli cells to support sperm production, and LH stimulates Leydig cells to produce testosterone.
Because the pituitary adjusts its output based on feedback from the gonads, FSH and LH values are interpreted together. Low levels can point to a problem at the pituitary or hypothalamic level, while elevated levels often suggest the gonads are not responding as expected.
The panel is commonly ordered when evaluating irregular menstrual cycles, suspected pituitary or gonadal disorders, delayed or precocious puberty, infertility, or symptoms related to low sex hormones. Results are typically available within one to three business days.
