What is a Free Androgen Index Test in Jaipur ?
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 Jaipur, with lab slots and home collection in Tonk Road, Jawahar Nagar, and nearby areas.
How is Free Androgen Index performed?
You can have the sample for Free Androgen Index taken at home in Tonk Road or Jawahar Nagar, Jaipur, 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?
For Free Androgen Index, results are read against the phase of the menstrual cycle where relevant, so collect on the day your doctor advises. GetVisit's NABL labs in Tonk Road and Jawahar Nagar, Jaipur use validated hormone assays with quality control.
Are there any risks to Free Androgen Index?
Risks are minimal. Some people notice a small bruise or brief soreness at the needle site, which settles within a day or two. Serious problems such as infection are very rare when sterile, single-use equipment is used, as it is at every GetVisit collection in Tonk Road and Jawahar Nagar, Jaipur.
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 Jaipur
Managing medication:
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.
Fasting instructions:
No special diet or fasting is needed. Carry on normally; just stay hydrated and avoid alcohol the night before.
Timing:
Book whenever is convenient; for fasting or hormone tests an early-morning slot is ideal. GetVisit covers Bais Godam, Mansarovar, and all of Jaipur.
What to bring along:
Keep your prescription and ID handy, along with your OPD insurance details if applicable. Wear sleeves that roll up easily.

Why Take a Free Androgen Index Test in Jaipur ?
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 Jaipur?
PCOS is increasingly diagnosed among Jaipur's young women, with high sugar and refined-carbohydrate intake and sedentary routines across Mansarovar, Malviya Nagar, and Jagatpura contributing to hormonal imbalance. Hormone testing benefits women with irregular cycles, suspected PCOS, or fertility concerns, and men with low energy, low libido, or reduced muscle mass. In Jaipur, high occupational stress and irregular sleep among professionals in Bais Godam, Sitapura, and similar areas are recognised contributors to hormonal imbalance.
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?
You will be notified the moment results are ready, usually the same day for routine tests. Open the report in the GetVisit app to see each value beside its reference range, share it with your doctor in a tap, or book a specialist consultation to talk it through.
