What is Luteinising Hormone, LH ?
The Luteinizing Hormone (LH) test measures the level of LH, a hormone produced by the pituitary gland that plays a critical role in regulating the reproductive system. In women, LH stimulates ovulation and the production of progesterone during the menstrual cycle. In men, it signals the testes to produce testosterone, which is essential for sperm production and overall male reproductive health. LH levels naturally fluctuate depending on age, sex, and a person’s reproductive stage. For example, in women, LH levels peak during the middle of the menstrual cycle, triggering ovulation. Abnormal LH levels may indicate underlying reproductive or hormonal disorders. The LH test is commonly ordered to assess issues related to fertility, menstrual irregularities, or delayed puberty. In women, it is used to evaluate ovulation and diagnose conditions like polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) or menopause. In men, the test helps investigate low testosterone levels, infertility, or disorders affecting the testes.
