Normal FSH or Follicle-stimulating hormone levels in women are:
Before puberty: 0 - 4.0 mIU/ml
During puberty: 0.3 - 10.0 mIU/ml
Women who are still menstruating: 4.7 - 21.5 mIU/ml
After menopause: 25.8 - 134.8 mIU/ml
mIU/ml = milli international units per milliliter
Normal value ranges may vary slightly among different laboratories
FSH helps manage a women’s cycle and stimulates the ovaries to produce eggs. The test is used to help diagnose or evaluate:
Menopause
Women who have polycystic ovary syndrome, ovarian cysts
Abnormal vaginal or menstrual bleeding
Problems becoming pregnant, or infertility
A prolactin test measures the level of the hormone prolactin, which is made by the pituitary gland, in your blood. Prolactin levels are different throughout the day. The highest levels occur during sleep and shortly after you wake up.
Normal prolactin levels for non-pregnant women is 4–23 nanograms per milliliter (ng/mL) or 4–23 micrograms per liter (mcg/L)
Premature ovarian failure can cause high FSH levels in young women.
Further diagnostic testing may be necessary to make a diagnosis.
