FSH

A pituitary hormone that drives egg development in women and sperm production in men.

Unit mIU/mLTypical adult range 1.4–18.1 mIU/mL
What it is

A pituitary hormone that drives egg development in women and sperm production in men.

Why it matters

It rises when the gonads are underperforming, which makes it the marker that separates a testicular or ovarian cause from a pituitary one.

Reading the number

In women the value only means something against the day of the cycle, and it climbs steeply around menopause. The band this app ships is an adult-male one, so a report's own printed range is the one to trust.
