Follicular Stimulating Hormone Test at Home in Dubai
Also known as: FSH, FOLLICLE STIMULATING HORMONE
Included
About the Test
Follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH) is released by the pituitary gland and regulates reproduction, stimulating the ovaries to grow follicles in women and supporting sperm production in men. Measuring FSH helps assess fertility, evaluate menstrual problems, identify the onset of menopause and investigate delayed or early puberty. Because FSH varies with the menstrual cycle in women, the timing of the sample matters for accurate interpretation.
What is it? A blood test measuring follicle-stimulating hormone, a pituitary reproductive hormone abbreviated FSH.

Follicular Stimulating Hormone test: purpose, preparation and results
Why take the Follicular Stimulating Hormone test?
- Assess fertility and ovarian reserve, or investigate irregular or absent periods
- Help confirm the onset of menopause when symptoms are present
- Evaluate low sperm count in men or delayed and early puberty in children
How to prepare for the Follicular Stimulating Hormone test
No fasting is required. If you have menstrual cycles, note the day you are on, as FSH is often measured early in the cycle. Mention any hormonal medication or contraception, which can influence your result.
Understanding your Follicular Stimulating Hormone results
FSH is interpreted against your sex, age and, in women, cycle stage. High FSH in women may indicate reduced ovarian reserve or menopause, while patterns of high or low FSH help pinpoint whether a reproductive problem lies in the ovaries and testes or in the pituitary. A doctor reviews the report and advises accordingly.

Frequently Asked Questions
Anything else? Ask on WhatsApp — we usually reply in three minutes.
FSH results are usually available within 8 hours of collection, and the doctor-reviewed report is delivered to your WhatsApp and email, typically on the same day.
Yes. FSH changes across the menstrual cycle, so for fertility assessments it is often drawn in the first few days of the cycle. Tell us your cycle day so the doctor can interpret the value correctly.
No fasting is required. The sample can be taken at any time of day, although your doctor may request a specific cycle day depending on why the test is being done.
A raised FSH together with menopausal symptoms and changes in your periods supports the diagnosis, but FSH can fluctuate during the transition, so doctors interpret it alongside your age and symptoms rather than from one value alone.
Yes. In men FSH helps assess sperm production and can point to whether a fertility issue originates in the testes or the pituitary gland, often measured alongside other reproductive hormones.
