Patient's question:
I got married last year. Recently, I've been experiencing lower abdominal pain, especially during my period. I'm very worried about it affecting my fertility, and I'm also extremely sensitive to cold and coldness. Can I undergo IVF with high FSH levels?Doctor's answer:
Follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH) levels are high, indicating highly impaired ovarian function in women, such as congenital absence of ovaries or ovarian hypoplasia (e.g., Turner syndrome), primary amenorrhea, primary hypogonadism, central nervous system and pituitary precocious puberty, ovarian (hypogonadism) obesity, etc.; as well as women in perimenopausal or postmenopausal stages.For women: FSH levels during the follicular phase of the menstrual cycle are higher than during the luteal phase, with a peak in the mid-cycle, ranging from 1.7 to 8.5 mIU/mL. Your high FSH levels suggest you should seek medical examination at a hospital as soon as possible.
