Understanding Your Hormonal Health: The Androgen Index Test
Are you experiencing unexplained symptoms that affect your daily life? Many South Africans struggle with hormonal imbalances without realising the underlying cause. The Androgen Index Test provides the clarity you need to understand your body’s hormonal communication system. Whether you’re in Johannesburg, Cape Town, Durban, or Pretoria, our comprehensive assessment offers peace of mind and actionable insights into your endocrine health.
What Does the Androgen Index Test Measure?
The Androgen Index Test is a sophisticated hormonal assessment that evaluates your body’s androgen hormone activity. It specifically measures:
- Sex Hormone Binding Globulin (SHBG): The protein that carries sex hormones through your bloodstream
- Total Testosterone: The complete amount of testosterone circulating in your body
By analysing these components together, we calculate your Free Androgen Index – a crucial indicator of how much active testosterone is available to your tissues. This provides a comprehensive picture of your hormonal balance that simple testosterone tests cannot offer.
Who Should Consider This Test?
If you’re experiencing any of these symptoms, the Androgen Index Test could provide valuable answers:
- Women with PCOS concerns: Irregular periods, ovarian cysts, or fertility challenges
- Unexplained acne or oily skin: Particularly along the jawline and chin
- Hair changes: Thinning scalp hair or increased facial/body hair growth
- Weight management struggles: Especially around the abdomen despite diet and exercise
- Mood fluctuations: Irritability, anxiety, or depression without clear cause
- Fatigue and low energy: That doesn’t improve with rest
- Menstrual irregularities: Heavy, light, or absent periods
- Fertility concerns: Difficulty conceiving without diagnosed causes
