Frequently Asked Questions

Most of the testosterone in your body is bound to proteins. It is not active or free. The free androgen index in simple english - tries to find out how much of the testosterone is active. Active testosterone produces the features of PCOD like facial hair. In women this percentage should be less than 10%.

Free Testosterone is a direct measurement of the active testosterone in the body. This is the testosteron which causes the symptoms of PCOD. So measuring it is helpful in diagnosing PCOD.

Almost 20-30% of women show high androgen levels in PCOD. DHEAS can be used as a marker to track androgen production. For this reason it is included in our panel.

This test is a part of the Free Androgen Index. The total testosterone levels in females with PCOS may be higher than normal. It helps to know if the woman is producing excessive male hormones.

This hormone is responsible for binding testosterone. It does not allow testosterone to act. As such, lower levels of SHBG may contribute to PCOD.
