SHBG Hormone
דיון מתוך פורום אנדוקרינולוגיה והפרעות בגדילה בקרב ילדים
Hello, Im 29 years old and I stopped taking contraceptive pills 5 months ago in order to conceive. Since then I still didnt get my period. As part of hormonal tests, my doctor (UK) checked the: Sex Hormone Binding Globulin SHBG. My doctor expected to find it to be low, but mine was actually very high. Also the Prolactin level was a bit higher. The rest of the blood test was pretty much normal. SHBG 180 UK Range: 13-71 Prolactin 394 UK Range: <360 I would like to know what it means when the SHBG is higher, as all the information I could find was for low SHBG. Thank you very much and sorry for the long question. Best Wishes, Neomi
SHBG=Sex Hormone Binding Globulin It is important to look for the reason that causes the increase in SHBG PROLACTINE cab be increase by stress. therefore it is important to repeat the prolactine blood test after 10 a.m. and at least 2 hours after awaking
