LH Rapid Flow Test – Luteinising Hormone – Pack of 25

The LH Rapid Flow Test is a single-use capillary assay designed for use with the PolarisDX Igloo Pro device. From a small finger-prick blood sample, it provides a quantitative luteinising hormone (LH) value in minutes, giving a quick view of reproductive hormone status during the appointment.

What the LH Test Measures

  • Ovulation signalling: In women, a surge in LH triggers ovulation and supports cycle timing.
  • Menstrual cycle function: Abnormal LH levels can be associated with anovulation and cycle irregularity.
  • Conditions such as PCOS: Altered LH levels may be seen in polycystic ovary syndrome and other hormonal disorders.
  • Testicular function (in men): LH stimulates testosterone production and supports sperm formation.
  • Hormonal baseline: Provides a numerical result that can be tracked and shared with other healthcare professionals.

Benefits of LH Testing for Patients

  • Clarity around symptoms: Helps explore irregular periods, reduced fertility, low libido, or mood changes.
  • Support with fertility planning: Useful for patients tracking ovulation or seeking advice about conception.
  • Convenient finger-prick test: Offers a quick hormone check without a separate lab visit.
  • Better conversations with clinicians: A clear LH value can support discussions with a GP, gynaecologist, endocrinologist, or fertility specialist.

LH results should always be interpreted alongside symptoms, timing within the menstrual cycle, and other hormone tests. Patients with ongoing symptoms, fertility concerns, or abnormal results should be encouraged to seek medical assessment.

When LH Testing May Be Considered

  • Irregular or absent periods: When cycle changes are frequent, prolonged, or unexplained.
  • Suspected PCOS or ovulatory issues: Women with acne, excess hair growth, weight gain, or long cycles.
  • Difficulty conceiving: Couples who have been trying for pregnancy without success.
  • Possible early menopause: Women with hot flushes, night sweats, or cycle disruption.
  • Symptoms in men suggestive of low testosterone: Low libido, fatigue, or reduced muscle strength, in discussion with a GP.

Benefits for Your Clinic or Wellness Service

  • Hormone health screening: Add LH testing alongside FSH, AMH, and other wellness or fertility checks.
  • New revenue opportunity: Offer LH tests with follow-up reviews and, where appropriate, guidance on lifestyle, supplements, or onward referral.
  • Results in minutes: Discuss findings and next steps while the patient is still in the chair.
  • Digital record keeping: Results are stored on the Igloo Pro device and can be shared with patients or their medical team.

Each box contains 25 single-use LH Rapid Flow tests, ready for use with the PolarisDX Igloo Pro. This test is intended as a screening and information tool. It does not replace full hormone profiling or diagnosis by a GP, gynaecologist, endocrinologist, or fertility specialist.
