DHEA is an androgen produced primarily by the adrenal glands in men and, to a lesser extent, in women. Your body converts DHEA into other important hormones, including testosterone and oestrogen. Our DHEA sulphate test can help detect adrenal insufficiency and may provide insight into symptoms like fatigue, changes in body hair, and mood fluctuations. Raised DHEAS levels can sometimes occur in conditions like polycystic ovary syndrome, providing a useful clue for further investigation.
