FSH test measures the level of follicle-stimulating hormone in blood to detect early puberty and the cause of infertility, like low sperm count and missing ovulation. The normal range of FSH in men is 1.24 to 16.4 IU/L. In women, the normal amount of FSH depends on the stage of the menstrual cycle at the time of the test.
Open rhinoplasty involves several cuts, stitches, severe swelling, and scarring, but its results are prominent.
