How is LH used in fertility treatment?

What is it used for?

To manage sexual processes, the LH test works in tandem with another hormone called follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH). As a result, an FSH test is frequently performed with an LH test. These tests are utilised differently depending on whether you are a woman, a man, or a child.

In women, these tests are most often used to:

• Assist in determining the cause of infertility.
• Learn when ovulation happens; this is when you are most likely to become pregnant.
• Determine the cause of irregular or discontinued menstrual periods.

In men, these tests are most often used to:

• Determine the cause of a low sperm count.
• Determine the cause of your decreased sex drive.
