What Luteinising Hormone measures
Luteinising hormone is made by the pituitary gland and helps regulate the reproductive system. In women it triggers ovulation; in men it supports testosterone production.
Why it is tested
LH is measured within fertility and reproductive-hormone panels, often alongside FSH and oestradiol. Its pattern helps build a picture of how the reproductive axis is functioning.

Frequently asked questions
Why are LH and FSH measured together?
