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.
