FSH ubnormal

I'm male, 30 years old, I do Hormones tests and found every thing is OK except Follicle Stimulating Hormone (FSH) which show 17.65 mIU/mL.
my questions:
Is there any treatment can be taking to reduce FSH to normal
what is the possibility to have children in the future
what kind of specialist can help me in this problem is he the endocrinologist or infertility

An endocrinologist would be the appropriate referral for this problem.

A high FSH level may suggest ovarian failure.  The fact that you are only 30 years old requires further evaluation.  The frequency of your periods should also be noted, along with the abnormal lab tests.  

Blood tests for estradiol, prolactin, and thyroid tests should also be done to see if there are any other endocrinologic abnormalities present.  

These options should be discussed with your personal physician or referred to an endocrinologist.

Followup with your personal physician is essential.

Briam,

male also with similar problem. Inhibin and activin are two hormones that control the FSH. also follistatin blocks the FSH receptors (it stops activin and activin increases FSH).
other ways to deal with high FSH are acupuncture, special diet (lots of veggies, no red meat
