Order FSH Blood TestThe FSH Blood Panel measures follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH) and luteinizing hormone (LH) in the bloodstream. These two hormones, produced by the pituitary gland, act on the gonads—the ovaries in females and the testes in males—to regulate reproductive function. Because FSH and LH are typically interpreted together, a panel that reports both provides a more complete picture than either measurement alone.
About FSH Blood Test in Everett
FSH and LH are gonadotropins, meaning they stimulate the gonads. Their secretion is controlled by gonadotropin-releasing hormone (GnRH) from the hypothalamus, and they in turn drive sex hormone production and gamete development.
In females, FSH promotes follicle growth in the ovaries and stimulates estrogen production, while LH triggers ovulation and supports the corpus luteum. Their levels shift markedly across the menstrual cycle, which is why cycle timing matters when interpreting results.
In males, FSH supports sperm production within the seminiferous tubules, and LH stimulates testosterone synthesis in the Leydig cells. Both hormones are part of the hypothalamic-pituitary-gonadal axis, a feedback loop in which sex hormones signal back to the brain to adjust gonadotropin output.
Measuring FSH and LH together helps distinguish where a problem may originate. Elevated gonadotropins can indicate the gonads are not responding adequately, while low levels may point to a pituitary or hypothalamic issue. Results are usually evaluated alongside clinical history, other hormone tests, and sometimes imaging.
