The Sex Hormone Binding Globulin (SHBG) test measures the amount of SHBG protein in a venous blood sample. SHBG binds to sex hormones, influencing their availability, so the result may support understanding of hormone‑related symptoms. This single‑marker test is aimed at adults concerned about fertility, hormonal acne, or low libido, priced at £30 plus a £35 phlebotomy fee.
About this treatment
Sex Hormone Binding Globulin (SHBG) is a single‑marker assay that determines the concentration of SHBG protein in your bloodstream from a venous blood draw. SHBG regulates the free fractions of testosterone and estrogen, and its level may support discussions about reproductive health, acne, or changes in sexual desire. By providing a quantitative value, the test helps clinicians assess whether altered SHBG could be contributing to symptoms such as infertility, hormonal acne, or reduced libido. The package includes the phlebotomy fee, laboratory measurement of the SHBG marker, and a comprehensive results report with optional clinician follow‑up. Results are typically returned within a few business days, enabling timely review. This test is particularly useful for adults experiencing hormone‑related concerns who want a clearer picture of SHBG status.
