A member asked:

I have had elevated lh in two blood tests (normal progesterone and estrogen), what does this mean and can it be related to night sweats?

Dr. John Gaffney answered

Specializes in Psychiatry

Luteinizing Hormone: Luteinizing hormone is a pituitary glycoprotein that (in women such as yourself) stimulates ovulation or maintains the corpus luteum during pregnancy. A high result can indicate a potential disease process or simply be a result of various medications. Hope that helps!
