Hormones
Follicle stimulating hormone
Also written as FSH.
Extended panel — run periodically
What it indicates
A pituitary hormone involved in the maturing of eggs and the production of sperm.
Why a series helps
It varies across the cycle and across life stages, so a series carries information a single value cannot.
What this page does not tell you
What a particular Follicle stimulating hormone result means depends on you: your history, your medication, why the test was taken. Ziro does not interpret results for individuals and does not diagnose. If something in your results warrants a conversation, that conversation is with a doctor, and your results are downloadable so you can bring them.
