What is SHBG Test

SHBG stands for Sex Hormone Binding Globulin, which is a protein that binds to sex hormones in the bloodstream. The SHBG test measures the amount of this protein in the blood. This test is typically performed by drawing a blood sample from a vein in the arm, which is then sent to a laboratory for analysis. Results from this test can help diagnose and monitor conditions related to sex hormones, such as infertility and polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS).
