Fsh is follicle stimulating hormone. It is secreted by the pituitary gland and, very simply, it helps the ovaries to release eggs. If a woman is short of this hormone the ovaries may not develop properly, and ovulation may not occur. It is also necessary in men for the development of the testes and the production of sperm. If it is supplied artificially it can improve fertility.
