How can you test for hormone levels in women?
Our Women’s Hormone Blood Test in London is a comprehensive evaluation that assesses key hormones related to fertility, menstrual cycles, menopause, and metabolism. This detailed examination provides essential insights by testing a broader range of biomarkers than typically available from a GP, through a simple finger prick test.
What does FSH do?
FSH, or follicle-stimulating hormone, plays a crucial role in women's reproductive health by regulating the development, growth, and reproductive processes of the body. It is essential for the maturation of ovarian follicles, which are vital for ovulation and fertility.
What causes FSH to be elevated?
Elevated levels of FSH can be caused by various factors, including menopause, ovarian insufficiency, and certain genetic conditions. High FSH levels are often a sign that the ovaries are not functioning properly, prompting the pituitary gland to produce more FSH to stimulate ovarian activity.
