ABOUT SHBG TESTS
The Sex Hormone Binding Globulin (SHBG) test measures the amount of SHBG in your blood. SHBG is a protein that binds to sex hormones—mainly testosterone and estrogen—regulating how much of these hormones are available for the body to use. Measuring SHBG helps evaluate hormone-related conditions such as low testosterone, polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS), infertility, and abnormal hair growth or menstrual changes.
You might benefit from this test if you’re experiencing symptoms of hormone imbalance, including fatigue, infertility, irregular periods, or reduced libido.
