For a 7 year old girl, what does the level of FSH = 0.9 mlU ml and LH = 0.1 mlU ml signify?? Knowing that these levels are said to be irregular on the blood test!

Dr. Judy Matta Pediatrics
For your doctor to ask for FSH and LH levels for your 7 year old girl, he must have seen signs suggestive of precocious puberty (advanced
breast development , pubic hair development, increased growth velocity,,etc)..
Your girl's LH level is 0.1 mIU/ml which is prepubertal and is compatible with her age...However, your physician may go on to order few more tests such as a GnRH-agonist stimulation test or a pelvic ultrasound.Also a bone age (an Xray for the wrist to determine) should be done to determine if the bone age is equal to the actual age..
