Endocrinology
Measures hormones and other markers to help diagnose the condition and assess associated health risks
A COMPLETE SET OF TESTS THAT CHECK: This comprehensive profile measures a wide range of hormones and metabolic markers to support the diagnosis of Polycystic Ovary Syndrome (PCOS) and to assess related health risks. It includes: • Androgens such as testosterone, androstenedione, and DHEA-S to detect elevated male-type hormones commonly seen in PCOS. • Reproductive hormones including LH, FSH, prolactin, Anti-Müllerian Hormone (AMH), and 17-hydroxyprogesterone to evaluate ovulatory function and exclude other endocrine disorders. • Thyroid hormones (TSH) to identify thyroid dysfunction, which may mimic or worsen PCOS symptoms. • Cortisol to assess adrenal function and possible stress-related hormonal imbalance. • Glucose, insulin, and HbA1c to screen for insulin resistance and long-term glucose regulation. • Lipid profile to evaluate cardiovascular and metabolic risk factors often associated with PCOS. • Sex Hormone Binding Globulin (SHBG) to help determine the amount of free, biologically active testosterone. WHAT THIS TEST SUITE REVEALS: • Presence of hyperandrogenism, one of the core features of PCOS. • Ovulatory dysfunction, cycle irregularities, or hormonal imbalance. • Potential adrenal or pituitary abnormalities that may present with similar symptoms. • Degree of insulin resistance, impaired glucose tolerance, or early signs of diabetes. • Overall cardiometabolic risk through lipid and glucose markers. • Thyroid or other endocrine conditions that should be ruled out when assessing PCOS. • A clear, integrated picture of reproductive, metabolic, and adrenal health to support accurate diagnosis and personalised treatment planning.

Endocrinology
Measures hormone levels, including androgens like testosterone, which can be high in women with PCOS
A COMPLETE SET OF TESTS THAT CHECK: • Levels of androgens (such as testosterone), which are often elevated in women with PCOS. • Sex Hormone Binding Globulin (SHBG) and the calculated Free Androgen Index, indicating how much active testosterone is available in the body. • Key reproductive hormones (FSH and LH) to assess ovulatory function and detect hormonal imbalance. • Glucose and insulin levels to evaluate carbohydrate metabolism and possible insulin resistance. • A full lipid profile (total cholesterol and fractions) to assess metabolic and cardiovascular risk commonly associated with PCOS. • Thyroid function markers (Free T4 / TSH), as thyroid disorders can mimic or worsen PCOS-like symptoms. • HbA1c, a long-term marker of glycaemic control and diabetes risk. WHAT THIS TEST SUITE REVEALS: • Whether there is a hormonal imbalance consistent with PCOS. • Signs of ovulatory dysfunction or disruption in the menstrual cycle. • Presence of insulin resistance or altered glucose metabolism. • Long-term risk of developing diabetes through HbA1c measurement. • Overall cardiovascular and metabolic risk via the lipid profile. • Potential thyroid dysfunction that may contribute to or mimic PCOS symptoms. • A comprehensive overview of hormonal and metabolic health to help confirm or rule out PCOS and related conditions.
