What is Luteinizing Hormone (LH)?

Luteinizing Hormone is measured as part of a female hormones panel. Your LH is within the typical reproductive-age range. LH surges mid-cycle, so timing matters for interpretation.

What does a high Luteinizing Hormone mean?

Your LH is elevated. A high LH (especially with a raised LH:FSH ratio) can be seen in PCOS, or it can indicate menopause depending on age and other hormones.

What does a low Luteinizing Hormone mean?

Your LH is low, which is interpreted in the context of your cycle and other hormones.

Understand your whole report, not just one number

A single value rarely tells the full story — Luteinizing Hormone is best read alongside the rest of your panel. Paste your values or upload your report and get a plain-English explanation of every marker, with the important results flagged.
