LH & Testosterone Total near me in Ernakulam

Available with Tata 1 mg labs in Ernakulam at an affordable price, the LH & Testosterone Total test helps assess the levels of two vital hormones: luteinizing hormone (LH) and testosterone total  in both males and females. These hormones play an important role in reproductive health, with Luteinizing Hormone (LH) regulating the menstrual cycle in females and sperm production in males, while testosterone is primarily responsible for male's sexual characteristics and fertility. This test is performed to detect and monitor hormonal imbalance, infertility issues and early or delayed puberty. 

The LH & Testosterone Total test is recommended in females with reproductive disorders such as polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS), menstrual irregularities, difficulty in getting pregnant, and hypogonadism (low testosterone levels). It also helps to determine ovulation time in females, evaluate hypogonadism and the function of the pituitary gland. In males, this test may be performed in suspected cases of low sperm count, fertility issues, or signs of low testosterone levels such as a decreased sex drive, low muscle mass, etc. 

In females, this test is advised on the second or third day of the menstrual cycle. For males, it can be done at any time. Additionally, inform your doctor about all the medication or supplements that you may be taking as some of them (e..g, birth control pills) may require adjustments or temporary discontinuation before the test.
