WHAT FOLLICLE-STIMULATING HORMONE TEST MEAN?
For the reproduction system, the follicle-stimulating hormone proves to be a significant element. It is developed in the pituitary gland, a small-sized exactly like a pea is located inside the brain that produces the FSH hormone and releases it in the bloodstream of a human body. FSH is an essential hormone that helps in the sexual formation and it’s functioning.
WORKING OF FOLLICLE-STIMULATING HORMONE (FSH)
FSH plays a vital role in the reproductive system, it has different functioning in men, women and children
- IN WOMEN Follicles are responsible for the development of estrogen and progesterone in the ovaries of women. FSH in women is the main reason for the growth of ovarian follicles and maintains a balance of the menstrual cycles. When a woman is having periods then the levels of FSH changes throughout. When the level of FSH reaches the highest count, before the egg is discharged by the ovary it is said to be the process of ovulation.
