Did you mean Luteinizing Hormone to Follicle-Stimulating Hormone Ratio?

GlossaryLH/FSH Ratio (Luteinizing Hormone to Follicle-Stimulating Hormone Ratio)

balance between two key reproductive hormones, LH and FSH

The LH/FSH Ratio refers to the balance between Luteinizing Hormone (LH) and Follicle-Stimulating Hormone (FSH), two key hormones involved in regulating the reproductive system. This ratio is often measured to diagnose and manage conditions like polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) and other reproductive disorders, as an elevated LH/FSH ratio can indicate hormonal imbalances that affect ovulation and fertility.
