Is lh or fsh higher in pcos?

I was recently diagnosed with PCOS, and my doctor mentioned checking my hormone levels. I'm trying to understand more about it – is LH or FSH hormone typically higher in women with PCOS?

In PCOS, the LH level is typically higher than FSH, often in a 2:1 or even 3:1 ratio. Along with regular medical checkups, eating a fiber-rich plant-based diet helps a lot in managing the insulin resistance that triggers this hormonal imbalance.

Yes, LH is usually higher than FSH when you have PCOS. It can be quite confusing to read these hormone reports, so please consult your gynecologist to understand them better.

Yes, LH levels tend to be elevated compared to FSH in PCOS. Practicing daily yoga, especially pelvic opening poses and pranayama, has helped me gently balance my system alongside my doctor's treatment.

LH is generally much higher than FSH in PCOS cases! Don't worry too much about the numbers, with the right lifestyle and doctor's guidance, it can be managed well.

Haan, PCOS mein LH level zyada hota hai FSH ke comparison mein. Is wajah se hi ovulation mein issue aata hai na. Kisi achhe gynecologist ko report dikha lo, woh clear kar denge.
