Dihydroosterone Test in Pune

What is Dihydroosterone Test

Dihydrotestosterone (DHT) is a hormone that is responsible for the development of male sex organs and secondary sexual characteristics. A dihydrotestosterone test measures the amount of DHT in the blood. It is performed by taking a blood sample from the patient and sending it to a laboratory for analysis. The test is commonly used to evaluate prostate health and to assist in the diagnosis of androgen disorders.

Who should do this test?

Individuals with symptoms of androgen excess such as excessive hair growth, acne, and irregular menstrual cycles, as dihydrotestosterone (DHT) is a potent androgen hormone responsible for these effects.

• Individuals with suspected androgenetic alopecia (male or female pattern baldness), as DHT is known to play a key role in the development of this condition.
• Individuals with suspected prostate cancer, as DHT is an important factor in the growth and development of prostate tissue, and testing for DHT levels can help in the diagnosis and monitoring of this condition.

What to do if the test is abnormal?

• Consult with a healthcare provider: If the result of the Dihydrotestosterone (DHT) test is abnormal, the first step is to consult with a healthcare provider. They will be able to interpret the results of the test and determine if any further testing or treatment is necessary.
• Discuss treatment options: Depending on the underlying cause of the abnormal DHT levels, there may be different treatment options available. For example, if the cause is due to an underlying medical condition, such as polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS), treatment may involve managing the underlying condition. Alternatively, if the cause is due to an androgen-secreting tumor, surgery may be necessary to remove the tumor.
• Follow up with repeat testing: Depending on the initial DHT test results and treatment plan, it may be necessary to follow up with repeat testing to monitor DHT levels over time. This can help to ensure that the treatment plan is effective and that DHT levels are returning to normal levels.
