LH Test Price in Bangladesh 2026

LH (luteinizing hormone) is the hormone that triggers ovulation in women and helps the testes make testosterone in men. Doctors order an LH blood test when a woman has irregular periods or trouble getting pregnant, or when a man has signs of low testosterone. The price changes a lot between centers. Based on the lists we checked, the LH test price in Bangladesh runs from about 250 BDT at NILMRC to about 1,600 BDT at some private hospitals. This guide shows the prices we found, explains the difference between the blood test and home ovulation kits, and helps you avoid paying more than you need to.

Last checked: 5 November 2026. These prices come from the sources shown in the table, because most centers do not publish a full rate list online. Rates differ by branch and change often, so confirm the exact price with the center before you visit.

Cheapest and Most Expensive LH Test

The lowest listed price is 250 BDT at NILMRC, followed by PG Hospital (BSMMU) at 450 BDT. Evercare Hospital Chattogram and Ibn Sina list 1,000 BDT, BIRDEM lists 1,200 BDT, and Popular lists 1,400 BDT in Khulna and 1,500 BDT in Dhanmondi. The highest listed price we found is 1,600 BDT at Epic Health Care in Chattogram, which is more than six times the NILMRC price for the same test. At the centers where we found both prices, LH and FSH are priced the same. NILMRC, BSMMU and Popular Dhanmondi, for example, list 250, 450 and 1,500 BDT for each of them. If you need both, ask whether a combined price is available.

Prices We Could Not Confirm

Most prices come from one third-party price site (September 2026), and none come from the centers own websites, so please call to confirm before you go. We could not find a reliable LH price for ICDDR,B or LabAid, so we have left them out. Other websites give very different ranges without naming centers, from 200 to 1,500 BDT (source), 300 to 800 BDT (source) and 800 to 2,500 BDT (source). Because they contradict each other, we have not used them. An older Bangla guide listed 1,200 BDT at Popular in 2023 and 250 BDT at a government hospital in 2020 (source), so prices have moved over time.

What Is an LH Test?

LH is a hormone made by the pituitary gland, a small gland under the brain. In women, a sudden rise in LH in the middle of the menstrual cycle, called the LH surge, triggers the release of an egg (ovulation). In men, LH tells the testes to make testosterone. The LH blood test measures how much LH is in your blood. Normal levels depend on your age, sex and, for women, the phase of the menstrual cycle, so there is no single normal number (source).

LH Blood Test vs Home Ovulation Kit

You may see ovulation test kits at pharmacies. They detect the LH surge in urine, and they give a simple positive or negative result to help time intercourse. One source puts their price at 150 to 500 BDT per kit (source). A lab LH blood test measures the exact hormone level, which a doctor uses to look for causes such as PCOS, menopause or pituitary problems. A home kit cannot replace the blood test when your doctor asks for it. Ask your doctor which one you need.

Why Do Doctors Order an LH Test?

Women: irregular or missed periods, difficulty getting pregnant, suspected PCOS, early menopause symptoms, or a check of how well the ovaries are working
Men: low sex drive, low sperm count or signs of low testosterone, to find out whether the problem starts in the testes or in the pituitary gland
Children and teenagers: puberty that comes too early or too late
Pituitary problems: when a pituitary gland disorder is suspected

LH is often ordered together with FSH, prolactin, estradiol, testosterone or a thyroid test, because these hormones work together. Your doctor may also order a general blood test.

Understanding Your LH Result

Reference ranges differ between labs, between men and women, and across the menstrual cycle. In general:

High LH in women can be seen in PCOS, around ovulation, and after menopause.
High LH in men can point to a problem in the testes.
Low LH can point to a pituitary or hypothalamus problem.

A single high or low value does not confirm a diagnosis. Your doctor will usually read it together with FSH, estradiol or testosterone and your symptoms, and sometimes repeat it.

How to Prepare for an LH Test

Ask your doctor which day of the cycle to test if you still have periods. For hormone tests, doctors often choose a specific day early in the cycle. Follow your doctor advice.
Ask about fasting. Some labs say no fasting is needed for LH alone, while some hormone panels ask for overnight fasting. Confirm with the center.
Tell the technician and your doctor about all medicines, especially hormones, birth control pills or fertility medicines, because they can change the result.
Bring your prescription and previous reports.
Wear a loose sleeve so the blood can be drawn easily.

Factors That Affect the LH Test Price

Type of center: Government institutes charge far less than private centers.
Single test or hormone panel: Some labs charge per hormone and some offer a package.
City and branch: Prices can differ by branch even within one chain. For example, Popular lists 1,400 BDT in Khulna and 1,500 BDT in Dhanmondi.
Home collection and urgent reports: These can add a fee.

Tips to Save Money on an LH Test

Ask your doctor exactly which hormones you need. Not every fertility workup needs every hormone.
Compare two or three centers. The gap can be more than 1,000 BDT.
Consider NILMRC or BSMMU if you can accept queues and shorter opening hours.
Ask about package prices if LH, FSH and other hormones are ordered together.
Use a home ovulation kit only to time ovulation, not to replace the blood test your doctor ordered.
Keep your reports so your doctor can compare results over time.
