What is FSH?
FSH serves as one of the body's primary communication signals between the brain and reproductive organs. It helps coordinate hormone production and reproductive function throughout life. Because FSH responds to changes in ovarian and testicular function, it can provide valuable insight into hormonal health and age-related changes.
In women, FSH is commonly used to evaluate ovarian reserve and reproductive aging. As ovarian function naturally declines, FSH levels often increase as the body works harder to stimulate hormone production.
In men, FSH may offer insight into reproductive function and overall hormonal signaling.
Tracking FSH over time can help you better understand how your reproductive hormones are changing and provide a broader picture of hormonal wellness, fertility potential, and healthy aging.
