Patient's question:
NoDoctor's answer:
Follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH) levels are high, indicating that a woman's ovarian function is severely impaired. This may include conditions such as congenital absence of ovaries or ovarian hypoplasia (e.g., Turner syndrome), primary amenorrhea, primary hypogonadism, central nervous system and pituitary precocious puberty, or ovarian-related (hypogonadism) obesity. It may also be seen in women experiencing menopausal syndrome or postmenopausal women.For women: During the follicular phase of the menstrual cycle, FSH levels are higher than during the luteal phase, with a peak in the mid-cycle range of 1.7–8.5 mu/mL. Your high FSH levels suggest that you should seek medical examination at a hospital as soon as possible.
