Elevated levels of the sex hormone luteinizing hormone (LH) can generally be managed through dietary adjustments, medication, and treatment of underlying conditions. Patients should first pay attention to their daily diet; by reasonably planning meals according to their physical condition, they can effectively regulate hormonal levels. Oral medications may also be used to effectively lower luteinizing hormone levels. In women, elevated LH levels may be caused by polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS), and patients should actively seek appropriate treatment.
