Luteinising Hormone (LH)

The Luteinizing Hormone (LH) test is a vital diagnostic tool used to evaluate reproductive health and hormonal balance in both men and women. By measuring LH levels, healthcare providers can pinpoint the timing of ovulation, investigate causes of infertility, and diagnose disorders related to the pituitary gland or gonads (ovaries and testes). In women, it is particularly helpful for identifying the LH surge that triggers the release of an egg, while in men, it helps assess testosterone production and testicular function. Furthermore, the test is essential for evaluating menstrual irregularities, premature puberty in children, or the onset of menopause, providing a clear window into the endocrine communication system of body.
