About This Test
Luteinizing Hormone (LH) is a hormone produced by the pituitary gland. It plays a key role in the reproductive system in both men and women. The LH test measures the level of this hormone in the blood and helps evaluate fertility, menstrual health, puberty, and hormonal balance. LH and FSH regulate and stimulate the growth and function of the gonads (ovaries and testis) synergistically.In men it serves to induce the formation of testosterone and in women, it stimulates the growth and maturation of the follicle and hence also the biosynthesis of estrogen in the follicle. Determination of LH is used in elucidation of dysfunctions within the hypothalamus- pituitary-gonad system.
