Question 1

what are fsh scores used for?

Accepted Answer

FSH levels: Fsh score is not commonly used term  in reproductive medicine. If you are asking about fsh levels, this a a blood test drawn around day 3 of your cycle. It measures your ovarian reserve or ovarian aging and we like it be generally less than 10.

Question 2

explain a 3.8 fsh level ?

Accepted Answer

Need context : FSh labs results need to be interpreted knowing information about the patient otherwise it's hard to interpret. According to your profile if you are a 47 year old female then a low FSH means that your not in menopause yet

Question 3

can estrogen help suppress fsh?

Accepted Answer

Yes: In a simplified way, the higher the fsh is, the more the body is 'calling out' for  estrogen. This makes it a type of reverse test: a high fsh means low estrogen and a low fsh means enough estrogen. If we are trying to prove a woman is going through menopause, we may check an fsh & see if it is very high confirming menopause. If she is on estrogen we might be fooled as her fsh could be then normal.

Question 4

what can cause low fsh level in males?

Accepted Answer

Low FSH: Surely your doctor examined you and obtained lab data which included a low FSH.
Did he/she not tell you what a low FSH meant and what needed to be done about it.
If this discussion did not happen please call the doctor and ask for more advice.

Accepted Answer

It is technically: Below the lower limit of the "normal" range, but is of no clinical significance whatsoever. Why did you have the lab drawn in the first place? A very high level would have needed investigation, say for infertility - but you value is entirely normal.

Question 9

please tell me what causes low fsh level in males?

Accepted Answer

FSH levels are: Normally "low" in normal males -- from 2.0 to about 9.2. Lower levels are generally difficult for most assays to detect -- but can be due to a variety of medications (particularly anti-convulsants), as well as pituitary deficiency including hypogonadotrophic hypogonadism and less commonly other disorders including testicular cancer. Check w/your doctor if you're concerned.
