FSH, follicle stimulating hormone, is a hormone that regulates the formation of follicles (eggs) and estrogen and menstruation.
The test may have been sent to tell what stage of the menstrual cycle you are in. It is most often sent to test for menopause. The level of 14.8 is normal for just about all of the menstrual cycle and does not support a diagnosis of menopause, although often the hot flashes and symptoms start before the FSH rises.
I have a level of 78.8 fsh level. what does that mean?
FSH means follicle stimulating hormone.
A lavender or purple top tube is typically used to draw blood for a follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH) level.

When the level of follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH) is low, it can lead to impaired reproductive function. In women, low FSH can disrupt ovarian function, resulting in irregular menstrual cycles or amenorrhea, and may lead to infertility. In men, low FSH can affect spermatogenesis, resulting in reduced sperm production and potential infertility. Overall, low FSH levels can indicate issues with the pituitary gland or the hypothalamus, affecting overall hormonal balance.
Yes.
Usually high FSH levels mean your ovaries are working hard and there are not many eggs left. It may also signal early menopause (depending on age).
Full service History
A high TSH (thyroid-stimulating hormone) level typically indicates hypothyroidism, or underactive thyroid function. A high FSH (follicle-stimulating hormone) level can indicate issues with ovarian function in women or testicular function in men, such as menopause or infertility. Further evaluation by a healthcare provider is necessary to determine the underlying cause and appropriate treatment.

FSH stands for follicle-stimulating hormone. In biology, FSH is a hormone produced by the pituitary gland that plays a key role in regulating the growth and development of follicles in the ovaries in women and the production of sperm in men.
