What is it?

Luteinizing hormone (LH) is a hormone produced by the pituitary gland that regulates reproductive health, the menstrual cycle, and ovulation in females. In menopause, LH levels often rise indicative of the hormonal changes associated with menopause. Elevated LH, along with decreased estrogen levels, is a characteristic hormonal pattern in menopausal women, providing valuable information for diagnosing and understanding the transition to menopause.
