What is the normal level of follicle stimulating hormone?

Follicle-stimulating hormone is a substance secreted by the female body that has a great impact on female fertility because it is a key hormone that promotes the development of follicles. Most infertile women have a certain relationship with the unstable secretion of follicle-stimulating hormone. Let’s take a look at what the normal value of follicle-stimulating hormone is? What are the precautions?

Women: Follicular phase: 1-9U/L, ovulation phase: 6-260U/L, luteal phase: 1-9U/L, menopause: 30-118U/L.

Follicle-stimulating hormone is a hormone secreted by the alkaliphilic cells of the anterior pituitary gland. It is composed of glycoprotein and its main function is to promote the maturation of follicles. Follicle-stimulating hormone can promote the proliferation and differentiation of granulosa cells in the follicle and promote the growth of the entire ovary. Its action on the seminiferous tubules of the testicles can promote sperm formation. Follicle-stimulating hormone is secreted in the human body in a pulsatile manner, and in women it changes with the menstrual cycle. The determination of serum follicle-stimulating hormone is of great significance for understanding the endocrine function of the pituitary, indirectly understanding the functional status of the hypothalamus and ovaries, predicting ovulation time, and diagnosing and treating infertility and endocrine diseases.

Precautions

1. Taking birth control pills, estrogen, or during pregnancy may affect the determination of serum follicle-stimulating hormone, so you need to be careful when testing. And because the physiological changes of follicle-stimulating hormone in serum are large, when judging and interpreting a certain pathological phenomenon, the measurement should be repeated many times to avoid misjudgment.

2. You can go to the hospital to get some Chinese medicine for conditioning. Chinese medicine hospitals are very effective in treating premature ovarian failure, and it will not affect pregnancy during the conditioning. Now there is one contradiction. The cause of myoma constitution is excessively high hormone levels in the body, but premature ovarian failure requires regulating these hormones. You can't have both. It’s better to take Chinese medicine first.
