DHT is a sex hormone that stimulates the development of male hormones. It is made through the conversion of testosterone in the testes and prostate in males. The amount of DHT often depends on the amount of testosterone you have.
High DHT levels in men may arise from genetics, hormonal shifts, medications, or aging.
Conversely, low DHT may be linked to enzyme deficits, hormone therapies, genetics, or chronic conditions. Both high and low DHT can impact men's health and require careful attention for effective treatment.
