A member asked:
What does a high level of shbg mean in a blood test? my dr says i may have pcos but everything i read about pcos says shbg levels are low.
A doctor has provided 1 answer
OCP: Oral contraceptive agents, commonly used in women with pcos, raise shbg levels which bind free testosterone. Women with pcos typically do have low shbg levels otherwise.
