FSH and LH tests in Kolkata

Overview

Follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH) and luteinizing hormone (LH) tests evaluates the health of your reproductive organs like your ovaries and testicles. Their stimulation induces the ovary to produce an egg (ovulation) in women and testosterone secretion in males.

A doctor recommends an FSH & LH test in Kolkata when a couple is facing trouble getting pregnant, women having irregular menstruation, or any ovarian disease. FSH & LH blood test measures the level of follicle-stimulating hormone and luteinizing hormone.

In women, FSH and LH test levels can assist in distinguishing between a disease that affects the ovaries directly (primary) and ovarian dysfunction caused by pituitary or hypothalamic disorders (secondary).
