What roles does FSH play in the aging processes of male and female reproductive systems and how do these changes affect fertility?
FSH levels increase as men and women age, leading to reduced sperm production and decreased egg quality, respectively, thus lowering fertility rates.
FSH levels rise with age in both sexes, reflecting decreased reproductive efficiency. In women, increased FSH accelerates ovarian follicle loss, hastening menopause. In men, high FSH indicates reduced testicular function, impacting sperm production and fertility.
