An FSH & LH Panel measures both follicle-stimulating hormone and luteinizing hormone together. These pituitary hormones work in concert to regulate reproductive function in both women and men.
What This Panel Measures
FSH (Follicle Stimulating Hormone):
Stimulates egg development in women and sperm production in men.
LH (Luteinizing Hormone):
Triggers ovulation in women and testosterone production in men.
Reference Ranges
Women:
• FSH: 3-8 IU/L (follicular), 26-133 IU/L (postmenopausal)
• LH: 2-13 IU/L (follicular), 8-76 IU/L (mid-cycle), 10-55 IU/L (postmenopausal)
Men:
• FSH: 1.3-11 IU/L
• LH: 1.5-9 IU/L
Who Should Consider This Test
Women:
• Fertility evaluation
• Irregular or absent periods
• Menopause or perimenopause evaluation
• PCOS assessment (LH:FSH ratio often elevated)
• Premature ovarian failure investigation
Men:
• Low testosterone evaluation
• Fertility problems
• Distinguishing primary vs. secondary hypogonadism
Why Test Both Together
The FSH/LH ratio provides important information:
• Elevated LH:FSH ratio (>2-3): Suggests PCOS
• Both elevated: Primary gonadal failure (menopause, testicular failure)
• Both low: Pituitary or hypothalamic dysfunction
