    What is 5 Alpha - Dihydrotestosterone (5 Alpha - DHT) Test?

    The 5-Alpha Dihydrotestosterone (DHT) test evaluates the levels of DHT in the bloodstream, a hormone vital for the development and maintenance of male characteristics in individuals assigned male at birth. DHT begins influencing male traits during prenatal stages and continues to play an important role throughout life. It is created when testosterone is converted by the enzyme 5α-reductase, primarily within tissues like the prostate, seminal vesicles, and skin. This hormone regulates male physical attributes and contributes to various physiological functions.

    This test is most often used to diagnose conditions such as male-pattern baldness and prostate disorders. Additionally, it helps track the progress of treatments aimed at reducing DHT levels, as excessive DHT can lead to hair loss and prostate-related issues. While males generally have higher DHT levels due to elevated testosterone, the role of DHT in females, particularly in relation to body and pubic hair growth, remains an area requiring further investigation.

    By measuring DHT levels, the test offers important insights into hormonal imbalances and health concerns, guiding more precise treatment strategies. If you’re in Gurgaon and want to understand your DHT levels, taking this test can provide clarity about your hormonal health and help you take timely steps to address potential issues.

    5 Alpha - Dihydrotestosterone (5 Alpha - DHT) Test Parameters

    The DHT test measures only one factor: the level of 5-alpha dihydrotestosterone, a critical hormone in the prostate. Unlike testosterone, which diminishes with age, DHT levels remain consistent. Low DHT may result from 5-alpha reductase deficiency or decreased testosterone levels. A genetic mutation affecting the 5-alpha reductase enzyme can lead to this deficiency, causing underdeveloped external genitalia, undescended testicles, and a small or absent prostate in males. In severe cases, individuals may appear externally female at birth. However, during puberty, males with this condition typically develop male traits such as voice deepening, muscle growth, and penis enlargement, although facial hair is often lacking.

    • I found Orange Health Labs while searching for a comprehensive allergy test. They offer the best price for this test among all the online pharmacies. None of 1mg, Netmeds, PharmEasy or Max have the option of a complete allergy test (236 allergens) at Rs 5000. So this is a huge bonus for common people like me. The sample collection staff was so good at their job, I didn't even feel when the needle was inserted and when the test was done also. Super polite customer service, digital payment, deep discount on allergy tests make this a highly recommended service. I had a marvelous experience with them.
