Inhibin B Test

The Inhibin B test is a blood test that measures the levels of Inhibin B, a hormone produced by the ovaries in women and the testes in men. This hormone plays a crucial role in producing follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH) and is an important marker of reproductive health.

Since Inhibin B fluctuates during the menstrual cycle and pregnancy, its levels can provide valuable insights into female reproductive health and fetal development. Your doctor may recommend the inhibin A test if you and your partner are troubled to get pregnant. It helps women evaluate ovarian reserve, crucial for determining reproductive potential. In men, it is useful in diagnosing conditions related to sperm production and testicular function.

The healthcare provider puts a cotton gauze or bandage over the puncture site. The Inhibin B test results will be available within 5 days at Redcliffe Labs.
