    What is a Sex Hormone Binding Globulin (SHBG) Test?

    The SHBG (Sex Hormone Binding Globulin) test is used to measure SHBG levels in your blood. SHBG is a protein mainly produced by the liver that binds to sex hormones such as oestrogen, dihydrotestosterone (DHT), and testosterone, regulating their availability to tissues. While it binds to all three hormones, its role in controlling testosterone levels is particularly crucial. Abnormal levels of SHBG can indicate testosterone-related issues, such as low testosterone in men or high testosterone in women. You might need this test if you have symptoms related to abnormal testosterone levels. For men, symptoms may include low sex drive, erectile dysfunction, and fertility problems, while for women, they could involve excessive hair growth, a deepened voice, irregular or absent periods, acne, and weight gain. The SHBG test can help clarify testosterone-related issues when total testosterone levels alone do not explain your symptoms.

    If you live in Gurgaon and are experiencing symptoms like the ones mentioned, consider getting an SHBG test to help diagnose hormonal imbalances and guide your treatment.
