What does it mean when luteinizing hormone (LH) levels are elevated?

Hello, Elevated luteinizing hormone (LH) levels warrant further evaluation of follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH). If FSH levels are low and the LH-to-FSH ratio exceeds 2, along with elevated serum androgen levels, a pelvic ultrasound should be performed to assess for polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS). Alternatively, if both LH and FSH levels are elevated but estradiol (a key estrogen) levels are low, this may indicate diminished ovarian function. In such cases, further assessment—including measurement of anti-Müllerian hormone (AMH)—is recommended to evaluate ovarian reserve. We hope this information is helpful. Wishing you good health and happiness!
