FSH Test in Kolkata
Overview
The follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH) test is a diagnostic test conducted to evaluate the levels of follicle-stimulating hormone in your blood. FSH is produced from a small gland underneath the brain, known as the pituitary gland. FSH is an important hormone that is involved in the development and functioning of sexual characteristics.
Therefore, abnormal levels of FSH in the blood can lead to severe medical conditions and adverse effects. The main role of FSH in women is to control menstrual cycles and stimulate the growth of eggs in the ovaries. In men, the role of FSH controls the production of sperms whereas, in children, FSH signals the production of estrogen in girls and testosterone in boys.

Purpose Of FSH Test:
The menopause test is conducted for different reasons in males, females, and children. In females, the FSH test is conducted to identify the reasons for infertility and irregular or paused periods. The test is also conducted to evaluate the problems related to the ovarian function or even to confirm the start of the menopause phase in a woman. In males, the FSH test is conducted to screen the major cause of infertility or low sperm count. It may also be carried out to know if there is any problem associated with the testicles. Sometimes FSH test is also carried out in young girls to diagnose issues related to early or delayed puberty.

Things You Should Know Before The FSH Test:
The blood sample for the FSH test is collected from your arm. The FSH blood test is conducted in the following simple steps:
- Firstly, a tourniquet is tied above the site from where the blood has to be collected.
- The healthcare specialist will then clean the point from where the blood has to be collected and then the antiseptic is applied onto that area.
- The needle is then inserted into the vein and the blood is collected.
- After removing the needle, a small cotton ball is applied to that point with pressure to soak any blood that flows out.
Understand The Report:
The abnormal levels of FSH may direct different interpretations in males and females. High levels of FSH in females indicate:
- Presence of some genetic disease
- Premature loss of ovarian function, that is, before the age of 40. The condition is known as primary ovarian insufficiency (POI).
- Low ovarian reserve, that is, egg supply.
- Menopause
- Turner syndrome
High levels of FSH in males can be a sign of:
- Klinefelter syndrome
- Damage to testicles due to alcohol abuse, certain diagnostic exposures like X-rays and chemotherapy, or due to some disease.
- Testicles not present
- Testicles not working as they should
Low levels of FSH indicate:
- No production of eggs, therefore, no menstrual cycle in females
- No production of sperms in males
- Presence of tumour that interferes with the ability of the brain to control the production of FSH
- The inability of the hypothalamus or pituitary gland to function in its normal way.
FSH Normal Range In Male And Female:
The normal range of FSH is different for males and females. The FSH levels in females also vary depending on the phase of the menstrual cycle in which they are. Before the release of the egg, the FSH levels in females range from 1.4 IU/mL to 9.9 IU/mL. While the egg is being released, the FSH levels may range from 6.2 IU/mL to 17.2 IU/mL whereas, after the release of the egg, the FSH levels vary from 1.1 IU/mL to 9.2 IU/mL. After menopause, the levels of FSH in females generally range from19 IU/mL to 100 IU/mL. In males, the levels of FSH are between 14 IU/mL to 15.5 IU/mL.
