Understanding Follicle Stimulating Hormone in Agra


What is Follicle Stimulating Hormone in Agra?

A Follicle Stimulating Hormone test measures the level of follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH). FSH is a hormone that plays a significant role in sexual development and reproduction in men and women. This test is performed to detect and monitor hormonal imbalance, fertility issues and early or delayed puberty.  

What does Follicle Stimulating Hormone measure?

A Follicle Stimulating Hormone test measures the level of FSH in your body. FSH is produced and subsequently released into the blood by the pituitary gland. Its production is controlled by a feedback mechanism involving gonadotropin-releasing hormone situated in the hypothalamus in the brain. The released FSH travels through your blood and then attaches to receptors in the ovaries and testes and exerts its functional effects on the reproductive organs, such as sexual development, puberty and maturation. FSH levels vary throughout the menstrual cycle in response to estradiol and progesterone. Any disruption or issue in this feedback mechanism can prevent normal function of the testicles or ovaries. Thus determining its level provides crucial information regarding your health.
