An LH (Luteinizing Hormone) test is performed by taking a blood sample.
Steps of an LH Test
Here's a detailed look at the process:
- Blood Draw:
- A health care professional will clean the area on your arm where the blood will be drawn.
- They will then insert a small needle into a vein in your arm.
- You might feel a slight sting when the needle goes in or comes out.
- Sample Collection:
- Once the needle is in place, a small amount of blood is collected into a test tube or vial.
- Post-Collection:
- The needle will be removed, and a bandage will be placed over the puncture site.
- The collected blood sample will then be sent to a lab for analysis.
This simple procedure allows doctors to measure the level of LH in your blood, which can help diagnose various conditions related to fertility and reproductive health.
