A luteinizing hormone (LH) test measures the level of LH in your blood. LH is a hormone produced by the pituitary gland that plays a key role in regulating the reproductive system in both men and women. The LH test is a vital tool for assessing reproductive health and diagnosing various hormonal and reproductive disorders. It helps healthcare providers understand and manage conditions related to menstrual irregularities, infertility, puberty, and pituitary function. By providing critical information about LH levels, the test aids in developing effective treatment plans and improving overall health outcomes for individuals with reproductive and hormonal health issues. Regular LH testing is particularly important for those experiencing symptoms of reproductive or hormonal imbalance, those undergoing fertility treatments, and during routine health evaluations.
