FSH, LH, Prolactin & TSH near me in Howrah

An FSH, LH, Prolactin & TSH test is a specialized test tailored to evaluate reproductive health in males and females by testing for FSH (follicle-stimulating hormone), LH (luteinizing hormone), prolactin, and TSH (thyroid-stimulating hormone). It is available at an affordable price in Howrah with Tata 1mg Labs. All four hormones—FSH, LH, prolactin, and TSH—are produced in the anterior pituitary gland. In women, FSH and LH play a crucial role in ovulation and menstrual cycles, while prolactin is necessary for milk production. In men, FSH and LH are essential for sperm production and testosterone levels, with prolactin influencing testosterone levels. Additionally, TSH contributes to the production of thyroid hormones, vital for maintaining normal metabolic functions in both men and women.

For women, doctors may recommend an FSH, LH, Prolactin & TSH test if they show signs of infertility, experience irregular or heavy menstrual periods, have PCOS/PCOD, face challenges in getting pregnant, are nearing menopause, or if there are suspected pituitary or hypothalamus problems. In men, this test can be conducted when symptoms such as low sperm count, fertility issues, or indications of low testosterone levels like reduced sex drive and low muscle mass are observed. Do not eat or drink anything other than water for 8-12 hours before the test. In women, the preferred time to collect the sample is the second or third day of the menstrual cycle.
