Testosterone has immunomodulatory properties and can influence allergic responses. Evidence suggests that testosterone suppresses Th2-driven immune reactions, which are central to allergies. Lower testosterone levels have been associated with a higher risk of allergic conditions such as asthma and hay fever. However, the evidence is moderate: most findings come from observational studies or animal models, not large clinical trials. Effects also vary by sex, age, and individual genetics. A DNA test might reveal variants in the androgen receptor or related genes, but this does not diagnose allergies. Consumer tests claiming to link testosterone and allergies are not clinically validated. If you have allergy symptoms, see a doctor. Safety note: do not attempt hormone manipulation without medical supervision.
