134
what does LH do
LH (Luteinising Hormone) is a hormone made by the pituitary gland, and its main job is to help control the reproductive system.
In females:
LH triggers ovulation — the release of an egg from the ovary.
It also helps the ovary produce hormones like oestrogen and progesterone.
In males:
LH tells the testes to make testosterone, which is needed for sperm production and male development.
135
what does FSH do
SH (Follicle-Stimulating Hormone) is another hormone made by the pituitary gland.
Its job is to help control growth, development, and the reproductive system.
In females:
FSH helps grow and mature follicles in the ovaries (each follicle contains an egg).
It helps the ovaries produce oestrogen.
Basically, FSH gets the egg ready, and LH later triggers ovulation.
In males:
FSH helps the testes produce sperm.
It works with testosterone to make healthy sperm cells.
