Frequently Asked Questions

The Sex Hormone-Binding Globulin (SHBG) test measures the level of protein that helps bind testosterone, estrogen, and dihydrotestosterone (DHT). It helps to evaluate hormonal balance in conditions like:

  • Polycystic Ovary Syndrome (PCOS)
  • Low testosterone in men
  • Hormonal imbalances affecting fertility and metabolism

Low SHBG level indicates insulin resistance, obesity, Type 2 diabetes, hypothyroidism, or androgen excess (as seen in PCOS).

No fasting required, but doctors may advise tests to be performed in the morning when hormone levels are stable.
