FSH is mainly aimed at infertility caused by ovulation
disorders and is widely used in assisted reproductive technologies such as
artificial insemination and test-tube baby. This product is different from HMG,
only contains FSH, not LH. FSH mainly stimulates the growth, development, and
maturation of follicles in the first half of menstruation, and an appropriate
amount of LH is also required to participate. This product is suitable for
anovulatory patients with insufficient FSH but not LH deficiency.
