What is the normal value of follicle stimulating hormone?

Many women have abnormal physical phenomena, so female patients need to pay attention to consult doctors in time for examination, so that they can be treated according to the patient's condition and avoid affecting the health of female patients due to physical problems. In particular, some female patients have abnormal follicle-stimulating hormone, so what is the normal value of follicle-stimulating hormone?

High levels of FSH are caused by disease, often a serious one. We know that follicle-stimulating hormone is secreted by the pituitary gland. When the ovarian function is normal, the follicle-stimulating hormone level is not high.

When the ovarian function is low, the follicles cannot mature and be discharged normally. The "command center" as the "superior" of the ovaries will issue more instructions to stimulate the ovarian function to achieve a normal environment for female ovulation. The more the function of the ovaries declines, the more this "listening to calls" information will be fed back to the pituitary gland, and the pituitary gland will release more follicle-stimulating hormone.

Therefore, whenever the ovarian function is insufficient, the amount of follicle-stimulating hormone secreted will be higher. It can be said that the higher the level of follicle-stimulating hormone, the lower the ovarian function, and the level of this test result is directly proportional to the severity of the disease. Therefore, the level of follicle-stimulating hormone can determine ovarian function. When it exceeds a certain value, it can be diagnosed as premature ovarian failure or the onset of menopause.

1. Infertility. When there is too much prolactin in the body, it can significantly inhibit the normal secretion of gonadotropin from the pituitary gland, thereby causing ovarian dysfunction and affecting the normal development of follicles, ovulation function and pregnancy function. If the secretion of follicle-stimulating hormone decreases, it will directly lead to developmental disorders of the ovarian follicles, which will become weak or incomplete, and ultimately lead to anovulation and inability to conceive.

2. Oligomenorrhea or amenorrhea. Excessive secretion of prolactin can also cause a decrease in estrogen levels, resulting in infrequent menstruation or amenorrhea, and decreased or no ovulation. In severe cases, many symptoms similar to menopause may occur, such as vaginal dryness, pain during sexual intercourse, facial flushing, etc.

3. Milk leakage. Galactorrhea may be overt or occur when the breast is compressed and may be watery, serous, or milky.

Many patients have abnormal follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH), so they need to consult a doctor in time to check their body to avoid problems that threaten their health. Therefore, once the patient has low follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH), they need to consult a doctor in time for treatment.
