Follicle Stimulating Hormone (FSH) is one of the key gonadotropic hormones, alongside luteinizing hormone (LH), both of which are produced by the pituitary gland and released into the bloodstream. FSH plays a crucial role in pubertal development and the functioning of both women's ovaries and men's testes.
In women, FSH stimulates the growth of ovarian follicles in the ovaries before ovulation, promoting the release of an egg from the dominant follicle. It also enhances the production of estradiol (a form of estrogen). In men, FSH is vital for spermatogenesis, the process of sperm production.
FSH levels are essential for assessing reproductive health, fertility, and overall hormonal balance.
