Follicle-Stimulating Hormone (FSH)

Follicle-Stimulating Hormone (FSH) is a hormone produced by the pituitary gland in the brain. It plays a vital role in reproductive health by stimulating the growth of eggs in the ovaries in women and sperm production in the testes in men. FSH works together with other hormones to regulate fertility and menstrual cycles. Its levels can indicate reproductive health issues, such as infertility or hormonal imbalances. FSH is essential for the development and function of the reproductive system, making it a key hormone in human reproduction.
