FSH Test Kit

Also called follicle-stimulating hormone and follitropin

FSH kit is used to qualitatively detect the content of Follicle Stimulating Hormone (FSH) in human urine, and is mainly used in the clinical diagnosis of ovarian diseases.

Key Advantages:
High Accuracy.
Easy to Use.
Fast Detection: Result in 10 minutes.
No equipment needed.
Same as Pregnancy test / LH Test.
What is a follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH) levels test?
This test measures the level of follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH) in your blood. FSH is made by your pituitary gland, a small gland located underneath the brain. FSH plays an important role in sexual development and functioning.
Why the Test is Performed
In women, FSH helps manage the menstrual cycle and stimulates the ovaries to produce eggs. The test is used to help diagnose or evaluate:
Menopause
Women who have polycystic ovary syndrome, ovarian cysts
Abnormal vaginal or menstrual bleeding
Problems becoming pregnant, or infertility
In men, FSH stimulates production of sperm. The test is used to help diagnose or evaluate:
Problems becoming pregnant, or infertility
Men who do not have testicles or whose testicles are underdeveloped
In children, FSH is involved with the development of sexual features. The test is ordered for children:
Who develop sexual features at a very young age
Who are delayed in starting puberty
What Abnormal Results Mean
High FSH levels in women may be present:
During or after menopause, including premature menopause
When receiving hormone therapy
Due to certain types of tumor in the pituitary gland
Due to Turner syndrome
Low FSH levels in women may be present due to:
Being very underweight or having had recent rapid weight loss
Not producing eggs (not ovulating)
Parts of the brain (the pituitary gland or hypothalamus) not producing normal amounts of some or all of its hormones
Pregnancy
High FSH levels in men may mean the testicles are not functioning correctly due to:
Advancing age (male menopause)
Damage to testicles caused by alcohol abuse, chemotherapy, or radiation
Problems with genes, such as Klinefelter syndrome
Treatment with hormones
Certain tumors in the pituitary gland
Low FSH levels in men may mean parts of the brain (the pituitary gland or hypothalamus) do not produce normal amounts of some or all of its hormones.
High FSH levels in boys or girls may mean that puberty is about to start.
What happens if FSH is low?
What happens if I have too little follicle stimulating hormone? In women, a lack of follicle stimulating hormone leads to incomplete development at puberty and poor ovarian function (ovarian insufficiency). In this situation ovarian follicles do not grow properly and do not release an egg, thus leading to infertility.
Why does FSH increase chance of pregnancy?
With more FSH, the ovary has more fuel to produce eggs, even though it has a small amount of follicles left. Higher levels of FSH at the beginning of the cycle may be a sign of diminished ovarian reserve (DOR)
