Why test LH?
Luteinizing Hormone (LH)
Luteinizing Hormone (LH) is a crucial hormone that plays a pivotal role in reproductive health. It is responsible for stimulating ovulation in females and testosterone production in males. By triggering the release of eggs from the ovaries and promoting the development of the corpus luteum, LH contributes to the menstrual cycle and fertility in women. In men, LH stimulates the Leydig cells in the testes to produce testosterone, an essential hormone for male reproductive function.
