How to Reduce FSH Levels

FSH is one hormone that affects sperm levels in men.

Follicle stimulating hormone plays an important role when you're trying to conceive. High FSH levels in women can indicate poor egg quality, the start of menopause or ovarian failure. High FSH levels in men may indicate testicular failure and may be responsible for a low sperm count. Returning elevated FSH levels to normal ranges could increase your chance of conception. A variety of available methods may help reduce FSH.
