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

    The Sex Hormone Binding Globulin (SHBG) test measures the amount of SHBG in your blood. SHBG is a protein primarily produced by the liver that binds to sex hormones like oestrogen, dihydrotestosterone (DHT), and testosterone, controlling their availability for use in the body. Though it binds all three hormones, its role in managing testosterone levels is particularly important. Abnormal SHBG levels can indicate testosterone-related issues, such as low testosterone in men or high testosterone in women. This test may be necessary if you’re experiencing symptoms related to abnormal testosterone levels. In men, these can include reduced sex drive, erectile dysfunction, and fertility concerns. In women, symptoms might involve excessive hair growth, deepening of the voice, irregular or absent menstrual cycles, acne, and weight gain. The SHBG test helps clarify testosterone-related issues when total testosterone measurements alone are insufficient to explain your symptoms.

    If you're in Mumbai and have any of the symptoms mentioned, consider an SHBG test to help diagnose potential hormonal imbalances and guide your treatment plan.
