A tool used to determine the balance between luteinizing hormone (LH) and follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH) provides valuable insights into reproductive health. Entering individual hormone levels into this tool generates a calculated ratio. For instance, an LH level of 10 mIU/mL and an FSH level of 5 mIU/mL yields a ratio of 2:1.
This calculated proportion offers crucial information for assessing potential conditions such as polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) or primary ovarian insufficiency (POI) in women and hypogonadism in men. Monitoring this hormonal balance can be essential for diagnosing and managing these conditions effectively. Historically, evaluating this balance relied on manual calculations, but online tools now offer more convenient and accessible methods.
