Your Private FSH Blood Test (Follicle Stimulating Hormone)

Because your health matters.

Optimal levels of Follicle-Stimulating Hormone (FSH) indicate a well-functioning pituitary gland, a crucial component of the endocrine system. The pituitary gland plays a vital role in regulating sex hormones, which in turn, govern fertility and reproductive health.

A private FSH Blood Test is a valuable diagnostic tool, capable of identifying potential issues such as ovarian failure or menopause in women, as well as low or zero sperm production in men. Monitoring FSH levels provides vital insights into your overall reproductive well-being.

Our private FSH Blood Test is a quick, easy and accurate way to check on your reproductive health and fertility. The test can be added to any of our full body health check packages.

What does a FSH Blood Test involve?

You don’t need to prepare for the test. However, women may need to be tested at a specific time on account of their menstrual cycle as FSH levels change throughout the month.

For the most accurate results, it is recommended that the FSH Blood Test be taken on day 3 of the menstrual cycle (day 1 is the start of your period). Anytime between days 2 and 4 are also suitable for testing.

A blood sample will be taken, using a small needle, from a vein in your arm. The small sample of blood is then collected into a test tube. The test is relatively painless, though you may feel a slight sting when the needle is inserted and taken out.

The whole process typically takes less than five minutes. After the blood is drawn into a vial, the blood sample is then sent to a laboratory for testing.
