FSH (follicle-stimulating hormone) is crucial in PCOS as it helps stimulate ovarian follicle growth, aiding treatments for ovulation induction. Its balance with LH (luteinizing hormone) affects PCOS severity and treatment outcomes.
FSH stimulates ovarian follicle development, often dysregulated in PCOS. For ovulation induction, increasing FSH can help overcome this stall, aiding in restoring normal ovulatory cycles.
