The Luteinizing Hormone (LH) test is a critical diagnostic tool from Augmentum Diagnostics used to assess the intricate function of the pituitary gland and the entire reproductive system in both men and women. As an NABL Accredited Laboratory, we provide highly accurate and reliable LH testing, which is fundamental for investigating fertility challenges, irregular cycles, and hormonal disorders.
LH, a gonadotropin, acts as a primary messenger: it signals the ovaries to release an egg (ovulation) and signals the testes to produce testosterone. Tracking this hormone is key to uncovering the root cause of reproductive health issues
Why the Test is Essential
Women trigger the LH surge, leading to ovulation; support the corpus luteum. Investigates causes of infertility, PCOS, irregular periods, and menopause.
Men stimulate the Leydig cells to produce testosterone for sperm production. Investigates causes of low libido, male infertility, and low testosterone levels.
Children drive the onset and progression of puberty.Diagnoses Precocious (Early) Puberty or Delayed Puberty.
