What is a Free Androgen Index Test in Delhi ?
What is Free Androgen Index?
The Free Androgen Index (FAI) estimates the amount of biologically active androgen in the blood. It is calculated from total testosterone and the amount of sex hormone binding protein. Physical examination provides clues; a test result removes ambiguity and allows targeted, evidence-based management to begin promptly.
What does Free Androgen Index measure?
Active androgens influence hair growth, acne, menstrual cycles, and sexual function. Measuring FAI helps detect androgen excess or deficiency. Doctors use it alongside symptoms and other hormone tests to diagnose conditions like polycystic ovary syndrome, hirsutism, infertility, and certain tumors. It also helps monitor response to treatment.
What symptoms suggest Free Androgen Index may be needed?
A doctor may recommend Free Androgen Index when a patient reports irregular or absent menstrual periods, unexplained abdominal weight gain, excessive facial or body hair (hirsutism), acne unresponsive to treatment, mood changes, low libido, and difficulty conceiving. GetVisit makes testing convenient in Delhi, with lab slots and home collection in Uttam Nagar, Punjabi Bagh, and nearby areas.
How is Free Androgen Index performed?
You can have the sample for Free Androgen Index taken at home in Uttam Nagar or Punjabi Bagh, Delhi, or at a partner lab. The phlebotomist draws a small amount of blood, applies a cotton swab with light pressure, and dispatches the sample to the NABL-accredited lab the same day.
How accurate is Free Androgen Index?
Every GetVisit sample from Uttam Nagar, Punjabi Bagh, and across Delhi is processed at NABL-accredited labs that use internationally calibrated reference standards, pass external quality assessments, and maintain internal quality control at every shift. Reports are accepted by all major hospital networks, specialists, and insurance providers in India.
Are there any risks to Free Androgen Index?
There are no significant risks beyond those of a standard blood draw. For your appointment in Uttam Nagar or Punjabi Bagh, Delhi, drink 2 to 3 glasses of water beforehand and stay seated for 2 to 3 minutes afterwards, as vasovagal fainting (rare) is more likely if you are fasting, anxious, or dehydrated. Tell the phlebotomist if you have fainted during previous draws.
Did you know?
The normal free androgen index (FAI) is generally considered below about 4–5% (FAI = total testosterone [nmol/L] ÷ SHBG [nmol/L] × 100).
Free Androgen Index Test Preparation in Delhi
Diet and fasting:
There is no need to skip food or drink for this test. Staying well hydrated beforehand simply makes the sample easier to collect.
Medication guidance:
For reproductive hormones (LH, FSH, oestradiol), collect on day 2 to 5 of your cycle unless told otherwise, and mention any hormonal contraceptive, which affects these values.
What to carry:
Have your doctor's referral and photo ID ready; earlier reports for the same test are useful for tracking trends.
When to book:
Book whenever is convenient; for fasting or hormone tests an early-morning slot is ideal. GetVisit covers Malviya Nagar, Saket, and all of Delhi.

Why Take a Free Androgen Index Test in Delhi ?
When does a doctor order Free Androgen Index?
Free Androgen Index is often ordered as part of an endocrine or reproductive hormone panel when patients have symptoms like excess hair, acne, irregular periods, infertility, low libido, or unexplained virilization. It helps diagnose conditions such as polycystic ovary syndrome, adrenal or ovarian androgen-secreting tumors, and androgen deficiency.
Who should get Free Androgen Index done in Delhi?
PCOS is highly prevalent among Delhi's young professional women. Those who benefit most from Free Androgen Index testing include younger women with menstrual irregularities, couples planning conception, and anyone on hormone therapy. Timely testing in Delhi shortens the path to an accurate diagnosis.
What conditions can Free Androgen Index help diagnose?
Abnormal results can come from obesity, insulin resistance, liver disease, thyroid problems, or certain medications, and family history of hormonal disorders may make testing more important.
What do Free Androgen Index results mean?
Higher or positive results: A high androgen index means your body has relatively elevated male hormones (androgens) compared with estrogens. Lower or negative results: Polycystic ovary syndrome is usually characterized by elevated androgens (hyperandrogenism), which cause symptoms like hirsutism, acne, and hair thinning. Your doctor reads the value against the reference range on your report and your symptoms, and may repeat a borderline result to confirm it.
How often should Free Androgen Index be repeated?
Frequency depends on the clinical question. For a fertility or PCOS work-up, tests are often timed to specific cycle days and repeated over one or two cycles. For patients on hormone therapy, monitoring follows the specialist's schedule, typically every few months until stable.
What happens after Free Androgen Index results are ready?
Your GetVisit digital report is delivered to your phone as soon as results are authorised. Share it directly with your doctor via the app, or book a consultation with a GetVisit-verified specialist on the same platform. Critical values outside a safe range are flagged by the laboratory for urgent clinical review.
