TSH (THYROID STIMULATING HORMONE) IS A HORMONE PRODUCED BY THE PITUITARY GLAND THAT REGULATES THYROID FUNCTION. IT STIMULATES THE THYROID GLAND TO PRODUCE THYROID HORMONES, WHICH CONTROL METABOLISM, BODY TEMPERATURE, AND HEART RATE. ABNORMAL TSH LEVELS CAN INDICATE THYROID DISORDERS SUCH AS HYPERTHYROIDISM (OVERACTIVE THYROID) OR HYPOTHYROIDISM (UNDERACTIVE THYROID). BY MEASURING TSH, HEALTHCARE PROVIDERS CAN DIAGNOSE AND MONITOR THYROID CONDITIONS.

Anti-Mullerian Hormone (AMH) is a hormone produced by the ovaries that reflects the number of eggs remaining in the body. An AMH test measures this hormone level to assess ovarian reserve, which is crucial for predicting fertility potential. Lower AMH levels generally indicate a declining egg supply, while higher levels suggest a greater number of eggs. This test is valuable for women undergoing fertility treatments, those concerned about premature ovarian failure, and those considering egg freezing.

A FOLLICLE-STIMULATING HORMONE (FSH) TEST MEASURES THE LEVEL OF FSH IN YOUR BLOOD. FSH IS A HORMONE PRODUCED BY THE PITUITARY GLAND THAT REGULATES REPRODUCTIVE FUNCTION. IN WOMEN, FSH STIMULATES EGG DEVELOPMENT AND OVULATION, WHILE IN MEN, IT SUPPORTS SPERM PRODUCTION. THIS TEST HELPS EVALUATE FERTILITY ISSUES, MENSTRUAL IRREGULARITIES, MENOPAUSE TIMING, AND POTENTIAL PITUITARY GLAND PROBLEMS. ABNORMAL FSH LEVELS CAN INDICATE UNDERLYING REPRODUCTIVE OR HORMONAL IMBALANCES.

THIS ASSAY IS USEFUL FOR EVALUATING HYPOGONADISM AND OLIGOMENORRHEA IN FEMALES. IT ASSESSES OVARIAN STATUS INCLUDING FOLLICLE DEVELOPMENT FOR IN VITRO FERTILIZATION. IT EVALUATES FEMINIZATION INCLUDING GYNECOMASTIA IN MALES. THIS ASSAY FORMS A PART OF THE DIAGNOSIS AND WORK UP OF PRECOCIOUS AND DELAYED PUBERTY IN FEMALES. IT IS ALSO USEFUL IN MONITORING LOW DOSE FEMALE HORMONE REPLACEMENT THERAPY IN POST MENOPAUSAL WOMEN AND FOR MONITORING ANTI-ESTROGEN THERAPY.
