About FSH Blood Test in Berkeley
Follicle-stimulating hormone and luteinizing hormone work in tandem to regulate essential reproductive processes.
In women, FSH stimulates the growth and maturation of ovarian follicles, while LH triggers ovulation and supports the formation of the corpus luteum. Their levels shift in a predictable pattern across the menstrual cycle, and measuring both can help characterize ovarian function and pituitary signaling.
In men, FSH promotes sperm production within the testes, and LH stimulates testosterone synthesis in the Leydig cells. Together they form the hormonal axis that links the brain to the gonads, making them useful markers when evaluating fertility, puberty, or suspected pituitary disorders.
Because FSH and LH are released in pulses and their concentrations fluctuate, results are interpreted alongside clinical context and sometimes other hormone measurements. A single blood draw provides a snapshot that clinicians use to assess whether the pituitary and gonads are communicating as expected.
