Why is FSH important?

Follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH) is crucial for reproductive health as it stimulates the growth and maturation of ovarian follicles in females and promotes spermatogenesis in males. In women, FSH plays a key role in regulating the menstrual cycle and ovulation. In men, it supports the production of sperm by acting on Sertoli cells in the testes. Overall, FSH is essential for fertility and the proper functioning of the reproductive system.
