What Does This Blood Test Finding Indicate?

Hi my doctor drew some blood to run some test on me to see if I was in the menopause stage and/or pregnant. The first 2 results that I got from the hospital’s website were FSH 1.6 and LH 1.3 and TSH, 3rd Generation W/Reflex To FT4 at .59. I am sure that my doctor will call me once all of the test results are in but I am anxious to find out what these mean. Can you help?

Hi,

The two test results FSH (follicle-stimulating hormone) 1.6 mIU/mL and LH (luteinizing hormone) 1.3 mIU/mL, are commonly used to assess menopausal status in women. Elevated FSH levels and low LH levels suggest that you may be in the menopausal stage.

The TSH (thyroid-stimulating hormone) result at .59 mIU/L is within the normal range and suggests that your thyroid gland functions normally. I want to let you know that these test results should be interpreted in the context of your overall health and symptoms and any additional test results. A healthcare professional can provide a complete interpretation of your test results.

Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. Priyanka, General & Family Physician
