This blood test measures level of Follicle Stimulating Hormone(FSH) in the blood which is responsible for fertility.
Blood.
No test preparation is needed, but early morning samples are preferred and a woman’s sample should be collected at specific times during her menstrual cycle.
FSH is made by the pituitary gland located in the brain, In women of childbearing age, FSH stimulates the growth and maturation of eggs (follicles) in the ovaries during the follicular phase of the menstrual cycle. In men, FSH stimulates the testicles to produce mature sperm and also promotes the production of androgen binding proteins. Disorders affecting the hypothalamus, pituitary, and/or the ovaries or testicles can cause the production of too much or too little FSH, resulting in a variety of conditions such as infertility, abnormal menstrual cycles, or early (precocious) or delayed puberty.
