Normal Luteinizing Hormone Levels in Women
The normal level of luteinizing hormone in women is related to fertility and the stability of the physiological cycle. Its value varies in different physiological stages. In the follicular stage, the level of this hormone is relatively low, about 2 to 12 mIU/ml, creating a suitable environment for the development of follicles. During ovulation, luteinizing hormone will peak, usually reaching 15 to 100 mIU/ml. This peak plays a key role in triggering ovulation. Without this peak, ovulation or obstruction will make it difficult to conceive. During the luteal stage, its level gradually decreases, mostly from 4 to 10 mIU/ml, in order to maintain luteal function, ensure the secretion of progesterone, and prepare for possible conception and embryo implantation.
If the level of luteinizing hormone in women is abnormal, it may cause many problems. If the level is too low, it can cause follicle growth retardation, non-ovulation, and then menstrual cycle disorders, and symptoms of thinning menstruation and even amenorrhea, which affect fertility. And if the level is too high, it is common in diseases such as polycystic ovary syndrome. In addition to ovulation disorders, it may also be accompanied by hirsutism and obesity, which is also very harmful to fertility and women's health. Therefore, accurately knowing the normal luteinizing hormone level of women is of great significance for monitoring reproductive health and diagnosing related diseases. Physicians often use this as an important basis for clinical practice to accurately diagnose and treat patients.
