Polycystic Ovary Syndrome (PCOS)

Included Tests:

1. Hormonal Tests

• Hair Growth Hormone Test – Evaluates elevated androgen levels, which may cause hair growth and acne.

• FSH (Follicle-Stimulating Hormone) – Evaluates ovarian function and ovulatory health.

• LH (Luteinizing Hormone) – Determines the LH/FSH ratio, a key indicator of PCOS.

• Total Testosterone – Detects excess androgens that may cause hair growth and acne.

2. Blood Sugar & Insulin Tests

• Fasting Insulin – Measures baseline insulin levels, often elevated in insulin resistance.

• HOMA-IR (Insulin Resistance Index) – A calculated indicator to assess insulin resistance.

• Fasting Glucose – Evaluates blood sugar control and overall metabolic function.

3. Thyroid Function Test

• TSH (Thyroid Stimulating Hormone) – Detects thyroid imbalances that can impact ovulation and cycle regularity.

Key Benefits & Why It’s Recommended:

• Comprehensive diagnosis of hormonal and metabolic factors contributing to PCOS.

• Early detection of insulin resistance to help prevent long-term complications.

• Accurate identification of hormone imbalances for targeted treatment plans.

• Assessment of thyroid health, which can mimic or contribute to PCOS symptoms.

•  Ideal for women experiencing irregular cycles, excessive hair growth, or unexplained weight gain.
