DHEA (DEHYDROEPIANDROSTERONE)

DHEA (dehydroepiandrosterone) is an adrenal steroid precursor that contributes to the production of androgens and estrogens; the DHEA test measures circulating DHEA (and commonly its sulfate form DHEA‑S) in serum to assess adrenal and gonadal hormone balance. Measuring DHEA helps clinicians evaluate causes of androgen excess, adrenal dysfunction, or hormonal contributors to infertility and menstrual irregularities.

This convenient home DHEA test from Touch Connect uses professional sample collection with laboratory analysis to deliver accurate results accepted by clinics across Dubai and the UAE, supporting fertility planning and treatment decisions. Results and interpretation are provided by accredited labs, and abnormal values should be reviewed with your physician or fertility specialist for personalised next steps.
