How does the aging process affect FSH secretion and function, particularly in relation to reproductive capacity and hormonal balance in men and women?
Aging increases FSH levels as ovarian and testicular function decline. In women, this leads to menopause; in men, it can reduce sperm production and testosterone levels.
Aging increases FSH levels in women, leading to menopause by depleting ovarian follicles. In men, elevated FSH reflects declining testicular function but doesn’t cause infertility.
