Expert answer:
The reference values to FSH are listed below and may vary according to the method of analysis performed in the laboratory.
For females:
- follicular phase (from the 1st to the 12th day after menstruation): 2.8 to 12 mIU / mL;
- ovulatory peak (averaged on the 14th day of the menstrual cycle): 12-25 mIU / mL;
- luteal phase (from the 16th day of the cycle until the next menses): 1.2 up to 12 mIU / mL;
- menopause:> 30 mIU / mL.
For males:
- 0.7 to 10 mIU / ml.
For children before puberty:
- up to 4 mIU / mL.
If there are changes in FSH levels, a gynecologist, endocrinologist or urologist should be consulted.
