Glossary Follicle-Stimulating Hormone Levels

measure of FSH concentration in the blood

Follicle-Stimulating Hormone (FSH) Levels refer to the concentration of FSH in the blood, a hormone produced by the pituitary gland. FSH plays a crucial role in regulating the reproductive processes, including the development of eggs in ovaries and sperm in testes. Abnormal FSH levels can indicate issues such as infertility, menopause, or pituitary disorders.
