FSH-LH-Testosterone near me in Bangalore
A FSH-LH-Testosterone test helps assess hormonal balance and function in both men and women. These hormones play an important role in reproductive health, with Follicle-Stimulating Hormone (FSH) and Luteinizing Hormone (LH) regulating the menstrual cycle in women and sperm production in men, while testosterone is primarily responsible for men's sexual characteristics and fertility. This test is widely available with Tata 1mg labs in Bangalore at an affordable price.
The test results can help doctors identify hormonal imbalances, guide treatment decisions, and monitor the effectiveness of interventions aimed at restoring hormonal balance and optimizing reproductive health. Usually, no special preparation is needed for a FSH-LH-Testosterone test. However, in women, the FSH-LH-Testosterone test is advised on the second or third day of the menstrual cycle whereas for men, the test can be done at any time.
Understanding FSH-LH-Testosterone
An FSH-LH-Testosterone test evaluates hormonal balance in the realm of reproductive health. It assesses three key hormones-Follicle-Stimulating Hormone (FSH), Luteinizing Hormone (LH), and testosterone. These hormones, produced by the pituitary gland and gonads (testes in men and ovaries in women), play pivotal roles in various physiological processes, important for reproductive and overall well-being.
In women, FSH and LH help regulate the menstrual cycle. FSH helps eggs in the ovaries to grow, while LH triggers the release of mature eggs during ovulation. LH also helps produce progesterone, a hormone essential for maintaining pregnancy. Monitoring FSH and LH levels tells about ovarian function, menstrual irregularities, and fertility. On the other hand, in men, FSH and LH are important for sperm production. FSH helps in the growth of sperm-producing structures, while LH stimulates testosterone production. Testosterone is a key hormone for the development of secondary sexual characteristics like deepening of voice, muscle growth, and facial and body hair in men. Also, this hormone helps maintain sexual desire, bone health, and overall vitality in men.
An FSH-LH-Testosterone test is commonly suggested by a doctor to diagnose and monitor various reproductive disorders, such as polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS), hypogonadism (low testosterone levels), and menstrual irregularities. By assessing the levels of FSH, LH, and testosterone, doctors can identify hormonal imbalances, guide treatment decisions, and monitor the effectiveness of interventions aimed at restoring hormonal balance and optimizing reproductive health.
Usually, no special preparation is needed for an FSH-LH-Testosterone test. However, in women, this test is advised on the second or third day of the menstrual cycle whereas for men, it can be done at any time. Additionally, you may discuss it with your doctor to temporarily stop taking certain medications or supplements, such as birth control pills, etc. as these may influence the test results.
Lab test results may vary across different laboratories based on the different methodologies. Talk to your doctor about your specific test results. The results will help them evaluate your medical condition; make recommendations for diet, exercise, or medication; and formulate an overall treatment plan based on your condition.
What does FSH-LH-Testosterone measure?
Contains 3 testsAn FSH-LH-Testosterone test measures the levels of three key hormones - follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH), luteinizing hormone (LH), and testosterone in the blood. These hormones are vital for hormonal function and overall reproductive health in both men and women.
In females, FSH stimulates the growth and recruitment of immature ovarian follicles in the ovary. When the follicle matures and reaches 8–10 mm in diameter it starts to secrete significant amounts of estradiol. The sharp increase in estradiol production by the dominant follicle causes an LH surge. LH levels rise just before ovulation to trigger the release of a mature egg. This way, FSH levels help assess ovarian function in women. In males, FSH levels help assess testicular function. It helps in the growth of sperm-producing structures, while LH stimulates testosterone production.
Testosterone plays a key role in the development of male reproductive tissues such as testicles and prostate, as well as promoting secondary sexual characteristics such as increased muscle and bone mass, and the growth of body hair.
The levels of these hormones are typically low during younger ages. However, as adolescence approaches, the brain starts producing gonadotropin-releasing hormone (GnRH). GnRH stimulates the pituitary gland to release FSH and LH. These gonadotropin hormones play a crucial role in the production of sex hormones such as testosterone, which are responsible for initiating the changes of puberty and controlling reproductive function in both men and women.
The Luteinising Hormone test determines the level of luteinizing hormone that promotes the functioning of the gonads, i.e., testes in men and ovaries in women. LH is produced by the pituitary gland, a pea-sized gland situated at the base of the brain. The production and release of LH are controlled by a system known as the hypothalamic-pituitary-gonadal axis. A hormone called GnRH is released from the hypothalamus of the brain and binds to the cell receptors in the anterior pituitary gland, which in turn prompts the synthesis and release of luteinizing hormone. LH then travels across the blood and attaches to its target cells in the testes in men and ovaries in women to facilitate optimal sexual and reproductive activities.

The 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 a 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. It exerts 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 the normal function of the testicles or ovaries. Thus, determining its level provides crucial information regarding your health.

The Testosterone Total test measures the level of testosterone hormone available in the blood. This includes two forms of testosterone: free testosterone and bound testosterone. Bound testosterone is attached to proteins, mainly to sex hormone-binding globulin (SHBG) and albumin. It cannot enter the body's cells or directly affect tissues and organs. Instead, it acts as a store of testosterone in the blood and can be released when the body needs it. Free testosterone is not attached to any proteins and is the active form. It can easily transport to various tissues, and affects key functions like sex drive, muscle growth, bone strength, and energy levels.
