FSH Female Fertility/Menopause Test Kit

KSh350.00

A woman’s fertility naturally begins to decline as she enters her thirties. However, what many may not realize is the pivotal role played by the hormone FSH (follicle-stimulating hormone) in a woman’s fertility journey. Elevated FSH levels are often associated with diminished fertility or menopause. FSH is instrumental in regulating ovarian function and sex hormones, making it a crucial indicator of fertility. This at-home FSH test is particularly beneficial for women experiencing irregular cycles or those aged 30 and above.

When to Take the Test: It is recommended to test FSH levels on day 3 of the menstrual cycle, though days 2 to 4 are also suitable. Day 1 is counted as the first day of menstruation.

Why Test FSH:

Monitoring FSH levels aids in:

  • Infertility Evaluation: FSH levels help assess ovarian reserve and function. Elevated levels may indicate diminished ovarian reserve, which can affect fertility.
  • Menstrual Irregularities: Abnormal FSH levels can help diagnose the cause of irregular or absent menstrual periods, such as premature ovarian insufficiency or polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS).
  • Menopause Diagnosis: High FSH levels are typically seen during menopause. The test can help confirm the onset of menopause or perimenopause in women experiencing symptoms like hot flashes, night sweats, and irregular periods.
  • Evaluation of Ovarian Function: In women experiencing symptoms of ovarian dysfunction, such as amenorrhea (absence of menstruation) or oligomenorrhea (infrequent menstruation), an FSH test can provide insights into the underlying cause.
  • Assessment of Pubertal Development: FSH testing can help evaluate delayed or precocious (early) puberty in younger women and adolescents.
  • Hormone Imbalance Assessment: FSH levels, along with other hormone tests, can be used to diagnose various conditions related to hormonal imbalances, such as pituitary disorders or hypothalamic dysfunction.

 

Description

How to Test:

  • Ensure the urine sample is fresh and collected in a plain container.
  • Open the foil pouch and immediately use the cassette on a flat, dry surface.
  • Utilize the provided pipette to draw about 4 drops (0.2ml) of urine sample.
  • Dispense the urine into the sample well on the cassette.
  • Initiate the timer and read the result after 5 minutes. Results observed beyond this time are not considered valid.
  • Positive results may manifest at any point during the 5 minutes, with both lines needing to be visible. Even a faint test line is considered positive.
  • Negative results must be confirmed within 5 minutes, with the control line clearly visible.
  • If no lines appear, the test is invalid and should be repeated with a new cassette.

Interpreting Results:

  1. (Negative results): Indicate a low FSH level typically signifies good ovarian reserve and optimal fertility.
  2. (Positive results): An elevated FSH levels may indicate reduced ovarian reserve, affecting fertility. Possible causes include:
    • Menopause or perimenopause.
    • Abnormal ovarian development.
    • Primary ovarian insufficiency (POI).
    • Polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS).
    • Ovarian tumours.
    • Thyroid diseases or adrenal gland disorders.
    • Chromosomal disorders such as Turner syndrome.
