PCOS Profile Test – Comprehensive Polycystic Ovary Syndrome Panel

⭐ Private • Accurate • Convenient
The PCOS (Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome) Profile Test is a comprehensive lab panel designed to
check for hormonal and metabolic patterns commonly linked to PCOS. It can support PCOS
evaluation by measuring key reproductive hormones, insulin and glucose markers, lipid profile

indicators, and additional tests that help rule out other conditions that can look like PCOS (such
as thyroid imbalance or elevated prolactin).
This test is helpful for women experiencing irregular periods, acne, unwanted facial/body hair
growth, difficulty conceiving, weight changes, or suspected insulin resistance.

⭐ Why Choose This Test?
• Comprehensive PCOS-focused panel (hormones + metabolic markers)
• Helps identify patterns linked to different PCOS “types” (hormonal, adrenal, metabolic)
• Includes markers that help rule out common look-alike conditions
• Professional sample collection at home/office or at our office
• 48-hour turnaround time
• Secure results shared via WhatsApp or email

⭐ What This Test Detects
Below are the key markers included and what each helps assess. (Reference ranges can vary
slightly by laboratory; your report will include the final lab-specific ranges.)
Reproductive & PCOS-Linked Hormones
1) LH (Luteinizing Hormone)
• Helps assess ovulation and cycle regulation
• Typical range: 5 – 20 mIU/mL
2) FSH (Follicle-Stimulating Hormone)
• Helps assess ovarian function and follicle development
• Typical range: 4 – 8 mIU/mL
3) Free Testosterone
• A key marker for “androgen excess” (acne, hirsutism, scalp hair thinning)
• Typical range: 0.7 – 3.6 pg/mL
4) SHBG (Sex Hormone-Binding Globulin)
• Low SHBG can increase free androgen activity
• Typical range: 18 – 144 nmol/L
5) AMH (Anti-Müllerian Hormone)
• Often elevated in PCOS due to higher follicle count
• Typical PCOS pattern: > 3.5 ng/mL

Adrenal Marker
6) DHEAS
• Helps assess adrenal contribution to androgen symptoms
• Typical range: 35 – 430 µg/dL
Rule-Out / Look-Alike Conditions
7) Prolactin
• High prolactin can disrupt periods and ovulation (can mimic PCOS symptoms)
• Typical range: < 25 ng/mL
8) TSH (Thyroid-Stimulating Hormone)
• Thyroid imbalance can cause irregular cycles, weight changes, and fatigue
• Typical range: 0.4 – 4.0 mIU/L
Metabolic & Insulin Resistance Markers
9) Fasting Insulin
• Helps assess insulin resistance (common in PCOS)
• Typical pattern: Normal < 20 µIU/mL
10) Fasting Glucose
• Helps assess blood sugar control
• Typical pattern: < 100 mg/dL
11) HOMA-IR
• A calculated marker of insulin sensitivity
• Typical pattern: < 1.0 (normal insulin sensitivity)
Lipid / Cholesterol Markers
12) HDL (“Good” cholesterol)
• Often lower in metabolic PCOS patterns
• Typical pattern: > 50 mg/dL
13) Triglycerides
• Can be higher with insulin resistance/metabolic syndrome
• Typical pattern: < 150 mg/dL

⭐ How to Prepare for the Test
• Fasting required: 8–12 hours before testing (needed for glucose, insulin, and lipids)

• Cycle timing: If you menstruate, testing is ideally done on Day 3–5 of your cycle (Day 1 =
first day of full bleeding)
• Supplements: Avoid biotin supplements for 48 hours before testing (can interfere with some
hormone tests)
• Medications: Tell us about any hormonal medication or supplements you’re using
⚠️ Do not stop or change any medication without medical advice.
