Dihydrotestosterone

What Does This Test Check?

This test measures dihydrotestosterone (DHT), the more potent form of testosterone converted in the body's tissues. DHT drives male development and is linked to hair loss and prostate growth.

Lola Health offers the Dihydrotestosterone test at £53.48, with results in one to four working days from a home sample. It is the sole option on this page, so there is no provider comparison to make.

A raised DHT level may indicate a factor in hair thinning or prostate enlargement, while a low level may matter for men on testosterone therapy. Levels vary and interpretation depends on your age and treatment, so review the result with your GP before changing anything.
