Affordable & Advanced PCOD/PCOS Diagnosis
Navigating Polycystic Ovary Syndrome (PCOS) can be complex and overwhelming. Our specialized diagnostic panels are expertly designed to provide clarity, helping you and your doctor understand the specific hormonal and metabolic imbalances at play. Take a definitive step towards managing your health with confidence.
Understanding PCOS: Beyond Just Symptoms
PCOS is more than just irregular cycles; it’s a complex metabolic and hormonal condition that can affect fertility, weight, skin, and long-term health. A proper diagnosis requires looking beyond the surface. Our panels are structured to investigate the key pillars of PCOS: hormonal imbalance, insulin resistance, and related metabolic health, providing a comprehensive picture for effective management.
Choose Your Diagnostic Panel
We offer a range of profiles, from initial screening to advanced investigation, to suit your specific needs.
PCOD Mini
An essential starting point for investigating PCOS symptoms. This panel covers basic female hormones, a comprehensive insulin and diabetic risk index, key hormonal imbalance markers, a complete lipid profile, and a full blood count (CBC).
PCOS Basic (Gynaecologists’ Choice #1)
Our most recommended panel for a comprehensive diagnosis. It includes all tests from the PCOD Mini profile and adds key steroid hormones (DHEAS, 17 OH Progesterone), a complete liver profile (LFT), and a basic kidney function test (KFT) for a more holistic view.
PCOS Advanced
The definitive profile for complex cases or for investigating fertility concerns. This package includes all tests from the PCOS Basic panel plus advanced reproductive health markers like Anti-Mullerian Hormone (AMH), DHT, and SHBG for unparalleled insight.
Understanding the Key Components of Your PCOS Test
Each part of these panels tells a piece of the story. Here’s what we look for.
PCOS is fundamentally a condition of hormonal imbalance. We assess key hormones like Luteinizing Hormone (LH) and Follicle-Stimulating Hormone (FSH), whose ratio is often altered in PCOS. We also check Prolactin and Thyroid Stimulating Hormone (TSH) to rule out other conditions that can mimic PCOS symptoms. Markers like Testosterone and DHEAS help evaluate androgen (male hormone) excess, which is a core feature of the syndrome.
Insulin resistance is a common underlying factor in many cases of PCOS. Our panels include a comprehensive assessment, measuring not just Fasting Blood Sugar and HbA1c (long-term sugar control), but also Fasting Insulin levels. This allows for the calculation of the HOMA-IR index, a sensitive marker for identifying insulin resistance long before it progresses to type 2 diabetes.
Included in our PCOS Advanced panel, these tests provide deeper insights, especially for fertility planning. Anti-Mullerian Hormone (AMH) is a key indicator of ovarian reserve. Sex Hormone Binding Globulin (SHBG) provides context for testosterone levels, and Dihydrotestosterone (DHT) is a potent androgen. Together, they offer a highly detailed picture of your reproductive and hormonal status.
Because PCOS is a metabolic syndrome, it can affect other body systems. Our panels include a Complete Lipid Profile to check for cholesterol abnormalities, a common co-condition. The Liver and Kidney Function tests provide a crucial baseline to ensure these vital organs are healthy, as they can be impacted by insulin resistance and other metabolic issues.

Interpreting Your Results
PCOS is a complex condition that requires expert medical diagnosis and management. These panels are powerful diagnostic tools designed to provide comprehensive data to you and your healthcare provider.
An abnormal result in one or more tests does not automatically confirm a PCOS diagnosis. **All results must be discussed with a qualified Gynaecologist or Endocrinologist**, who will interpret them in the context of your symptoms, clinical examination, and potentially an ultrasound scan to make a definitive diagnosis and create a personalized treatment plan.
