Why is FSH considered a critical marker in diagnosing ovarian reserve and how is this information used in fertility planning?
FSH, or follicle-stimulating hormone, gauges ovarian reserve by measuring the responsiveness of ovaries to hormone signals. High FSH indicates diminished reserve, guiding fertility treatments.
FSH levels determine ovarian function; higher levels suggest lower egg supply, critical in assessing fertility options and timing for treatments like IVF.
FSH levels rise when ovarian reserve declines. High FSH indicates lower fertility potential, guiding reproductive planning and interventions.
