FSH
Follicle-Stimulating Hormone (FSH) is a hormone produced by the pituitary gland that plays a crucial role in reproduction for both men and women. In women, FSH stimulates the ovaries to mature egg follicles, while in men, it supports sperm production. FSH levels fluctuate throughout a woman’s menstrual cycle and are vital for fertility and overall reproductive health.
