What is a Luteinising Hormone test?

An LH test helps determine how well your reproductive system functions and assesses factors affecting conception and fertility. The LH test measures the luteinising hormone levels in your blood to determine your fertility status and shows if you have any reproductive health issues that need medical attention. LH is commonly carried out along with a couple of other tests like progesterone, testosterone, FSH and oestradiol to provide insight into infertility in women and men.

An LH blood test is used to identify:

  • Ovarian failure
  • Menopause
  • Pituitary disorders
  • Testicular failure
  • Polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS)

Taking an LH test is an accurate and easy way to determine the luteinising hormone level in your body and assess your reproductive health and fertility status.

Function of luteinising hormone in the body

The brain’s pituitary gland produces this hormone and controls your sex organs, including the testes and ovaries. LH affects testosterone production in men and controls the release of an egg in women.

An LH blood test can help evaluate if the ovaries in women and testes in men are working properly.

Why should you take an LH test?

Taking a luteinising hormone blood test can detect fertility and reproductive health issues. If you are concerned about your reproductive status or reproductive health, taking an LH blood test is highly recommended.

An LH blood test is recommended if you experience:

  • Difficulty in conceiving
  • Absent or irregular periods
  • To check fertility in women and men

This test will let you know if you have undiagnosed conditions or hidden fertility issues.
