    GlossarySerum Androgen Levels

    concentration of male sex hormones in the bloodstream

    Serum Androgen Levels refer to the concentration of androgens, which are male sex hormones like testosterone, in the blood. These levels are important for diagnosing and managing conditions related to hormonal imbalances, such as polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) in women or androgenic alopecia (hair loss) in both men and women.
