FSH Test Price in Bangladesh 2026

FSH (follicle-stimulating hormone) is one of the first hormone tests doctors order when a woman has irregular periods or trouble getting pregnant, or when a man has a low sperm count. The price changes a lot between government and private centers. Based on the lists we checked, the FSH test price in Bangladesh runs from about 250 BDT at NILMRC to about 1,500 BDT at Popular Diagnostic Center. We found reliable prices for only a few centers, so please read the section on prices we could not confirm. This guide also explains what FSH shows, when to test, and how to avoid paying more than you need to.

Cheapest and Most Expensive FSH Test

The lowest listed price is 250 BDT at NILMRC, followed by PG Hospital (BSMMU) at 450 BDT. ICDDR,B lists 1,160 BDT on its own website, with a report turnaround of 48 hours (source). Popular Diagnostic Center lists 1,500 BDT, and the price is the same at its Dhanmondi and Gazipur branches. That is six times the NILMRC price for the same hormone test. One website also gives a general range of 500 to 1,500 BDT for private labs in Dhaka (source), which is close to what we found.

Prices We Could Not Confirm

We could not find a reliable FSH price for Ibn Sina, LabAid, BIRDEM or the Chattogram hospitals, so we have left them out. Please call them for a quote. Most prices in the table come from a third-party price site, and only ICDDR,B comes from the center own website. If your doctor orders several hormones together, such as FSH, LH, prolactin and TSH, one guide gives an illustrative range of 1,500 to 4,000 BDT for the group, and some labs charge per hormone instead of as a package (source). Ask whether a package price is available.

What Is an FSH Test?

FSH is a hormone made by the pituitary gland, a small gland under the brain. In women, FSH helps eggs mature in the ovaries and controls the menstrual cycle. In men, it helps the testes make sperm. The FSH test measures how much of this hormone is in your blood. Because the level changes with age, sex and the stage of the menstrual cycle, a single value is always read together with your symptoms and other tests.

Why Do Doctors Order an FSH Test?

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

FSH is often ordered together with LH, prolactin, estradiol, testosterone or a thyroid test, because these hormones work together.

When Should You Do the FSH Test?

For women who still have periods, FSH is usually tested on a specific day early in the menstrual cycle, commonly around day 2 to 5. Another hormone listing on the same price site notes that tests for women should be done on specific days of the cycle as advised (source). Ask your doctor which day is right for you, because the result can be misleading if the sample is taken on the wrong day. Women who do not have regular periods or are past menopause can usually be tested on any day. For men, there is no special day.

Understanding Your FSH Result

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

High FSH in women can point to reduced ovarian reserve or menopause.
High FSH in men can point to a problem in the testes.
Low FSH can point to a pituitary or hypothalamus problem, or conditions that suppress ovulation.

A single high or low value does not confirm a diagnosis, so your doctor will usually read it with LH, estradiol and other tests, and sometimes repeat it.

How to Prepare for an FSH Test

Confirm the day of the cycle with your doctor if you still have periods.
Ask about fasting. Some labs say fasting is not required for FSH 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 FSH 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.
Report time: ICDDR,B lists a 48-hour turnaround, and faster reports may cost more at some centers.
Home collection: Sample pickup at home can add a fee.
City and branch: Prices can differ by branch even within one chain.

Tips to Save Money on an FSH 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 several hormones are ordered together.
Check the cycle day before you go, so you do not have to repeat the test and pay twice.
Keep your reports so your doctor can compare results over time.
