Luteinizing Hormone (LH): Functions, Levels, Deficiency, and Treatment

Hormones regulate almost every function in the human body. There are so many hormones in the human body regulating corresponding functions. One of the important hormones for males and females is the Luteinizing Hormone (LH), which plays a crucial role in reproductive health. It handles many functions, like influencing fertility, testosterone levels, and menstrual cycles.

But what happens when LH levels are too high or too low? Let’s break it down and understand how Medi-Gyn, Dubai, can help restore balance with Bioidentical Hormone Therapy (BHRT) and Peptide Therapy.

What Is Luteinizing Hormone (LH)?

LH has a key role in reproductive function.

How Does It Work in Women?

LH triggers ovulation, ensuring the timely release of an egg. This is essential for fertility and overall reproductive health.

How Does It Work in Men?

LH stimulates the production of testosterone, which is crucial for sperm production, muscle mass, energy levels, and overall well-being.

When LH levels are balanced, reproductive functions run smoothly. But when there’s an imbalance, health complications begin to surface.

Signs of LH Imbalance

Hormonal imbalances develop gradually, and symptoms in men and women vary depending on the variations in LH levels

In Women

Symptoms What It Means
Irregular menstrual cycles Ovulation problems
Difficulty conceiving LH imbalance may affect egg release
PCOS symptoms (weight gain, acne) High LH may lead to insulin resistance
Hot flashes, night sweats Early menopause signs

In Men

Symptoms What It Means
Low sex drive Testosterone levels are dropping
Reduced muscle mass LH isn’t stimulating testosterone
Fatigue, low energy Hormonal imbalance affects metabolism
Difficulty gaining muscle or losing fat Slowed metabolism due to low testosterone
Infertility (low sperm count) LH isn’t supporting sperm production

What Causes LH Deficiency or Excess?

  1. Polycystic Ovary Syndrome (PCOS) – Could this be why your cycles are irregular?

Women with PCOS often have high LH levels, which disrupt ovulation. This can lead to infertility, acne, weight gain, and even mood swings.

  1. Menopause & Andropause – Are these symptoms hitting you earlier than expected?

LH levels naturally rise as women approach menopause. As a result, they experience hot flashes, night sweats, and mood changes. Similarly, in men, declining testosterone causes fatigue, low sex drive, and muscle loss—a condition known as andropause.

  1. Obesity or Extreme Weight Loss – Is your weight affecting your hormones?

Excess fat and severe weight loss impact LH hormone levels. Obesity leads to high LH, increasing the risk of infertility in women. On the other hand, too little body fat lowers LH levels, stopping periods altogether.

  1. Pituitary Gland Disorders – What if the problem is in the brain?

Since LH is produced in the pituitary gland, any dysfunction in this gland can cause hormone imbalances. Tumors, injuries, or other medical conditions affecting the pituitary can disrupt LH production.

  1. Excessive Stress – Could stress be wrecking your hormones?

Chronic stress releases cortisol, which interferes with LH production. This can lead to irregular cycles in women and low testosterone in men.

How Is LH Imbalance Diagnosed?

Do you experience any of these symptoms? Only a hormone specialist in Dubai can help you resolve the problems and regain your health. Hormone specialist centers in Dubai, like Medi-Gyn, employ advanced and accurate diagnostic testing- hormone analysis like DUTCH Plus and TruAge diagnostics to fetch a complete picture of hormone levels and metabolites. Accurate diagnosis is the base of medical data to pinpoint the root cause of LH imbalances and create a bespoke hormone treatment plan for the best treatment outcomes.

Mr. Homajun Nobacht

Pharmacist and BHRT Specialist

Born in Tehran in 1962, Homajun Nobacht competed his Pharmacy studies at the Goethe University in Frankfurt in 1995.

Homajun has dedicated his life to the development of and working with bioidentical hormones with a total experience being over 25 years. He leads a Team of Pharmasists who offer personalised formulations for patients in the context of bioidentical hormone therapy and anti-ageing.

The base product for bioidentical hormones produced by the pharmacy is obtained  from a yam root, the ingredients of which are the so-called diosgenins and these have a structure that is similar to our sex hormones. The diosgenins are then semi-enzymatically converted to progesterone, pregnenolone, DHEA, testosterone and estradiol using Marker methods.

We use these hormones in micronized form, which is very important for the bioidentical hormones to work. The micronization and dispersion in olive oil ensures that the hormones bypass the first pass effect without damaging the liver in the long-term.

Ms. Irina Bond

CEO, Founder & Well-Ageing Expert

Dedicated to assisting their patients through any stage of menopause, Irina demonstrated undoubted passion, extensive experience and know-how of guiding and empowering female patients in navigating this transformative journey and rediscovering themselves.

With over 15 years of heartfelt dedication, Irina has guided countless international clients on their paths to natural well-ageing with Purifyne Cleanse and now at Medi-Gyn Center. Her passion and profound expertise intertwine to empower clients to embrace their best selves, both physically and emotionally.

Irina’s Transformative Beginning

Irina’s journey towards healthy living and wellness took root amidst the shadows of one of the most tragic nuclear disasters in history – Chernobyl. At just 12 years old, she and her family were forced to evacuate multiple times from their home, as they navigated life in an area deemed an ‘exclusion zone.’ This challenging experience instilled in her a vital understanding of nutrition and the importance of safe food choices, shaping her values and mission later on.

A Journey Across Europe

Her path led her from the troubled grounds of Chernobyl to Poland, then across the UK, France, Monte-Carlo, and finally to Dubai. Throughout her travels, she passionately shared her message of “lifespan and health-span,” touching the lives of many along the way.

Upon arriving in London in 1998, Irina initially embarked on a career in banking from 2003 to 2009. However, her heart remained committed to the world of naturopathic medicine. She immersed herself in researching wellness, dedicating her time to understanding natural body cleansing, remedies, and holistic well-being, all of which would later influence her work in well-ageing.

Founding Purifyne Cleanse

Her relentless pursuit of knowledge and the desire to help others culminated in the creation of Purifyne Cleanse Ltd., one of the UK’s pioneering Juice Detox Companies, which she ran from 2009 to 2016. Simultaneously, she supported international clients in their Well-Ageing Programmes, focusing on body detoxification, weight management, and enhancing both lifespan and healthspan for nearly 15 years.

Educational Pursuits in Naturopathy

The success of her Well-Ageing Programmes brought joy to many, as clients reported feeling revitalised and healthier within days of joining. Their transformations were a testament to her dedication, and her programmes garnered recognition and endorsements from respected medical practitioners and therapists across the UK. Propelled by her passion and the positive impact she made, Irina pursued Naturopathic Studies at the College of Natural Medicine (CNM) in London.

Today, Irina Bond stands as the compassionate Founder/ CEO and Well-Ageing Expert at Medi-Gyn Center in Dubai. Her extensive experience and heartfelt commitment warm the hearts of those she serves, guiding each client to become the best version of themselves. By blending her diverse skill set in product knowledge, business development, linguistic and client management, she continues to champion the values of well-ageing and hormone balance, making a difference in the lives of many.
