Follicle stimulating hormone 9 points

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 development of eggs. Follicle-stimulating hormone can promote the proliferation and division of the granulosa cells of the egg and promote the growth of the entire uterus and ovaries. Its effect on the seminiferous tubules of male testicles can improve sperm quality. Follicle-stimulating hormone is metabolized in the human body in a single pulse, and women's metabolism changes with their menstrual cycle. Measuring follicle-stimulating hormone in blood cells is of great significance for understanding the endocrine function of the pituitary gland, indirectly understanding the function of the hypothalamus, pituitary gland and ovaries, predicting women's ovulation period, and diagnosing and treating infertility and endocrine diseases.

Is follicle stimulating hormone normal at 9?

If the follicle-stimulating hormone level is over 9 points, it is normal. The normal value for women is between 5 and 20. Generally speaking, if it exceeds 20, it means that the woman's ovaries are slightly depressed. If it exceeds 40, it means that the ovaries are in decline, and there is usually no menstrual period at this time, because follicle-stimulating hormone is a hormone that promotes the growth of women's eggs.

In addition, it can also regulate the metabolism of female hormones and estrogen in women's bodies, so it is not good if its level is too high.

Decreased follicle-stimulating hormone levels are common in estrogen and progesterone treatment, secondary sexual dysfunction, hypopituitarism, Sheehan's syndrome, polycystic ovary syndrome, and advanced adenohypophysis.

Increased follicle-stimulating hormone is common in male testicular seminoma, Klinefelter's syndrome, Turner syndrome, primary amenorrhea, congenital uterine and ovarian dysplasia, after treatment with adrenal hormones, primary reproductive dysfunction, uterine and ovarian obesity, early hyperpituitarism, giant cell degenerative lung cancer, etc.
