GNRH (LHRH) Stimulation Test For FSH and LH

This test helps assess how your body produces and responds to follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH) and luteinizing hormone (LH). This test is gold standard for diagnosing central precocious puberty (CPP) and other early pubertal occurrences.

This test is done primarily for:

• Evaluating infertility issues
• Diagnosing hormonal imbalances that affect fertility
• Monitoring puberty development
• Investigating irregular menstrual cycles
• Assessing pituitary gland function
• Determining causes of low testosterone levels

• This test is advised when you exhibit:
• Irregular menstrual cycles
• Delayed or early sexual development
• Infertility concerns
• Symptoms of hormonal imbalances like excess facial hair in women or enlarged breasts in men
• Pituitary gland abnormalities

• Abnormal results may signal issues like polycystic ovary syndrome, hypogonadism, or pituitary disorders.
• Your doctor will interpret results with your medical history to determine the appropriate next steps.

During this test:

• You'll receive an injection of GnRH intravenously.
• Multiple blood samples will be collected over time.
• Some people may experience mild discomfort during blood draws.
• Results help in understanding hormone levels in your body.

Before the test:

• No specific fasting is needed.
• Inform your doctor about medications you're taking.
• Wear loose, comfortable clothing for easy blood sample collection.
• Follow any additional instructions provided by your healthcare provider.

Reach out to your healthcare provider for specific requirements.

Other tests alongside may include:

• Oestradiol Testing: Measures the oestrogen hormone levels in females.
• Testosterone Testing: Assesses testosterone levels in males.
• Prolactin Testing: Detects prolactin hormone levels involved in milk production.
• Thyroid Function Tests: Evaluates thyroid hormone levels to rule out underlying thyroid issues.

Gonadotropin-Releasing Hormone Stimulation Test or GnRH Stimulation Test

Infertility is a condition indicated by difficulty conceiving after trying for a year or longer without success. There are two types of infertility, primary and secondary. Infertility can result from various factors such as hormonal imbalances, ovarian issues, uterine abnormalities, or sperm problems in men.
