Pituitary hormones
Pituitary hormones at the "Genesis Dnipro" laboratory — the key to understanding endocrine health.
-Follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH)
- Luteinizing hormone (LH)
- Prolactin
- Prolactin/Macroprolactin (Prolactin + Macroprolactin)
Pituitary hormones such as FSH, LH, and prolactin play a crucial role in maintaining reproductive function, metabolism, and growth. Any disruptions in this system can have significant health consequences and require careful diagnostic and treatment approaches.
When it is recommended to check pituitary hormones:
- Menstrual cycle disorders, infertility
- Galactorrhea (discharge from the mammary glands outside of lactation)
- Excessive or insufficient growth
- Chronic fatigue, depression, apathy
- Weight fluctuations, metabolic disorders
- Decreased libido, impotence
- Suspected pituitary tumor
How the examination is conducted:
Venous blood is taken for analysis on an empty stomach, preferably in the morning. In some cases, the doctor may prescribe a dynamic study—assessment of hormone levels at different times of the day.
Results are provided with reference values and interpretation.
