Test Overview
What is a DHT Test in Delhi?
The DHT (Dihydrotestosterone) Test in Delhi is a blood test used to measure levels of dihydrotestosterone, a potent androgen (male hormone) produced from testosterone. DHT plays a vital role in the development of male characteristics, such as deep voice, muscle mass, and facial hair, while also influencing prostate health and hair growth.
Doctors in Delhi recommend this test to evaluate androgen-related disorders, hair loss (androgenic alopecia), fertility issues, and hormonal imbalances in both men and women.
