Androgen checkup for women can be done by endocrinology or gynecology; men can be done by endocrinology or urology.
1. Androgens include many kinds of hormones and are generally included in the full set of sex hormones, which can reflect the level of androgens and understand the endocrine function. Generally speaking, testes, adrenal cortex and ovaries can secrete androgens, so women can check with endocrinology or gynecology and men can check with endocrinology or urology.
2. The test of androgen usually requires a blood test on an empty stomach, and the day before the test, do not drink alcohol and eat a light diet.
3. It should be noted that the clinical significance of a single androgen indicator increase or decrease is limited, generally need to improve the six hormone tests, including androgens, and if the test results are abnormal, need to be weighed by a professional doctor to judge and, if necessary, carry out treatment.
Androgen abnormality is recommended to immediately go to the hospital to avoid delaying the condition.
