Product Details
FSH, LH, and Prolactin are all produced in the anterior pituitary gland. These hormones play a key role in reproductive health and general well-being. Measuring their levels is often the first step in checking fertility in both men and women or finding possible hormonal problems.
- Follicle-Stimulating Hormone (FSH): This hormone helps in the growth of eggs and regular menstrual cycles in women and supports sperm production in men. Abnormal levels can lead to issues like irregular periods, fertility problems, PCOS, and pituitary disorders.
- Luteinizing Hormone (LH): This hormone works with FSH. It triggers ovulation in women and supports testosterone production in men. Imbalanced LH levels can also cause fertility and hormonal problems.
- Prolactin: This hormone helps in the development of breasts and milk production in women. It also affects the menstrual cycle. High prolactin levels can cause irregular periods, fertility problems, and conditions like galactorrhea (milk production without pregnancy) and pituitary tumors (prolactinomas).
In women, doctors may suggest this test if you have irregular or heavy periods, PCOS/PCOD, trouble conceiving, or suspected issues with the pituitary or hypothalamus. In men, it may be done if there are signs of low testosterone, such as low sex drive or reduced muscle mass.
Fasting is required before this test. Do not eat or drink anything except water for 8–12 hours before the test. For women, the ideal time to take the sample is on the second or third day of the menstrual cycle. Your doctor may ask you to stop certain medicines like birth control pills or Biotin (Vitamin B7), as they can affect the test results. Prolactin levels can change during the day and are influenced by stress, exercise, and sleep. So, your doctor may recommend repeat tests to confirm the results.
Test result ranges are approximate and may differ slightly between labs depending on the methodology and laboratory guidelines. Talk to your doctor about your specific test results. The results will help them determine your medical condition and formulate your treatment plan.

The FSH, LH & Prolactin test measures levels of three hormones, namely follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH), luteinizing hormone (LH), and prolactin, that are critical for reproductive function in males and females. This hormonal test is conducted to address various issues associated with the process of ovulation, fertility, and reproductive organs.
These hormones are important for reproductive health. Their levels help doctors understand problems with ovulation, fertility, and hormone production. In children, these hormone levels are usually low. But as puberty starts, the brain produces a hormone called GnRH, which signals the pituitary gland to release FSH and LH into the blood.
