FSH, also known as Follicle-Stimulating Hormone, S is a simple blood test used to measure the level of this hormone in your blood.

During puberty FSH signals the testes to produce testosterone.

Follicle-stimulating hormone levels can help your doctor diagnose premature ovarian failure, polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS), ovarian tumors, sexual development disorders such as Turner syndrome (female) or Klinefelter syndrome (male), pituitary and/or hypothalamus disorders, infections, hormone deficiency, central nervous system disorders, and even eating disorders. Understanding your FSH levels can facilitate a supportive discussion with your doctor and help you both make the most informed decisions for your care.
