A doctor may request it if prenatal screening is needed, when ultrasound findings are unclear, or when an ovarian mass is suspected. Adults above 30 in Chennai benefit from periodic health screening that includes INHIBIN A as part of a broader preventive panel. Residents of Virugambakkam, Porur, and across the city with chronic conditions, those on long-term medication, and individuals with a relevant family history should test at the frequency their specialist recommends.
