[QUOTE="Nelson Vergel, post: 258285, member: 3"] Below we will [B]list the main female hormone tests[/B] and their importance in diagnosing and managing various endocrine and reproductive disorders. We'll go through the key hormone tests one by one: [LIST=1] [*]Follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH) test: FSH is a gonadotropin produced by the anterior pituitary gland, responsible for regulating the development, growth, and maturation of ovarian follicles in females. An FSH test measures the levels of this hormone in the blood. This test is crucial for assessing menstrual disorders, infertility, polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS), premature ovarian failure, and menopausal status.
