What is "follicle-stimulating hormone"?
Follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH) is a hormone released by the pituitary gland that plays a vital role in reproductive function. In females, FSH stimulates the growth and development of ovarian follicles, which contain eggs. In males, it stimulates the production of sperm. FSH is crucial for the proper functioning of the reproductive system and the maintenance of fertility.
