The average amh test cost in Ahmedabad is approximately Rs. 800 with prices ranging from Rs. 760 to Rs. 840. The Follicle-Stimulating Hormone (FSH) test is a blood test used to examine the levels of FSH in the human body. FSH is a crucial hormone in our body that is responsible for our reproductive health. It regulates the development of eggs in women and sperm production in men. The test is commonly prescribed for evaluating fertility issues and hormonal imbalances in men and women and delayed puberty in children.

Purpose of FSH Test

The purpose of the FSH test varies for women, men, and children. However, the common assessment is fertility-related issues. 

  • In Women: To assess ovarian reserve, diagnose polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS), evaluate menopause symptoms or investigate irregular menstrual cycles.
  • In Men: To determine the cause of low sperm count or testicular dysfunction.
  • In Children: To diagnose delayed or precocious (early) puberty.

How to Prepare for an FSH Test?

Before you go for an FSH test, you should check for the following factors:

Preparation Aspect Details Why is it Important?
Fasting Not typically required unless specified by your doctor. Ensures the test reflects natural hormonal levels without interference from food.
Timing Women are often advised to schedule the test on the 2nd or 3rd day of their menstrual cycle. The day your period starts is considered the first day of your menstrual cycle. FSH levels fluctuate during the cycle. This timing provides the most accurate results.
Medications Inform your doctor about any ongoing medications including contraceptives or hormonal therapies. Medicines like birth control pills or steroids can alter FSH levels.
Stress Management Avoid stress and strenuous physical activities before the test. Stress and exercise can temporarily affect hormone levels, leading to inaccurate readings.
Substance Use Refrain from alcohol or smoking 24 hours before the test. These can influence hormonal balance and skew test outcomes.
Recent Health Events Inform your doctor about recent illnesses or procedures. Recent surgeries or infections may impact hormone levels

Additional Tips:

  • You should wear comfortable clothing for easy access to draw blood.
  • Arrive at the test centre a few minutes early to relax before the procedure.
  • Follow any additional instructions provided by your healthcare provider to get accurate results.

Procedure for the FSH Test

  1. A small blood sample is taken from a vein in your arm.
  2. The process is quick usually lasting less than 5 minutes.
  3. The sample is sent to a laboratory for analysis.

Interpreting FSH Test Results

Group Normal Range (mIU/mL) Abnormal High Levels Abnormal Low Levels
Women Pre-menopause:

4.7 to 21.5

Post-menopause:25.8 to 134.8

  • Suggests ovarian failure or menopause.
  • May indicate polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS).
  • May result from pituitary gland disorders.
  • Suggests hypothalamic dysfunction or extreme stress/malnutrition.
Men Before puberty:

0 to 5.0

Adult:

1.5–12.4

Indicates testicular dysfunction or gonadal failure. Suggests pituitary or hypothalamic issues, possible hormonal imbalances or external factors like steroids.
Children Varies with age and pubertal status Signals early (precocious) puberty. May indicate delayed puberty or developmental issues.

Key Notes:

  1. High Levels:
    • Women: Common during menopause, indicating reduced ovarian reserve.
    • Men: Often a marker for primary testicular failure or damage due to infections or radiation.
    • Children: Early puberty concerns, particularly in girls.
  2. Low Levels:
    • May indicate underlying endocrine disorders affecting the hypothalamus or pituitary gland.
    • Could result from chronic illnesses, nutritional deficiencies, or excessive physical stress.
  3. Additional Factors:
    • Normal ranges might differ slightly depending on the lab. Consult your healthcare provider for precise interpretation.
    • Results are often considered alongside LH (Luteinizing Hormone) and other hormonal levels for a comprehensive analysis.

If your results fall outside the normal range, your healthcare provider will explore possible causes and suggest further tests or treatments tailored to your condition.
