What Follicle Stimulating Hormone measures
Follicle stimulating hormone is produced by the pituitary gland and helps regulate the ovaries and testes. In women it supports the growth of ovarian follicles; in men it supports sperm production.
Why it is tested
FSH is commonly measured as part of fertility and reproductive-hormone assessment and when investigating menstrual cycle changes. It is usually interpreted together with LH and oestradiol.

Is FSH a fertility test?
It is one of several hormones measured when looking at reproductive function, rather than a single test of fertility. It is interpreted alongside other markers and the clinical picture.
