DIAGNOSTIC SERVICES
Diagnosing PCOS necessitates a comprehensive array of lab services to paint a detailed picture of hormonal and metabolic dynamics.Hormonal assessments extend to androgens, adrenal hormones, and prolactin, helping discern the intricate hormonal imbalances characteristic of PCOS. Fertility tests, evaluating ovarian function through markers like FSH and LH, play a pivotal role. Essential metabolic tests include HbA1c and glucose tolerance assessments (as appropriate), crucial for understanding insulin resistance commonly associated with PCOS.

In ruling out potential mimics like Cushing's syndrome, dynamic cortisol testing become imperative, while thyroid function is assessed through TSH levels. Additionally, considering the prevalence of metabolic complications, thorough evaluation includes diabetes and prediabetes tests, ensuring a holistic understanding of metabolic health.

With a focus on tailored care, our clinics prioritize a comprehensive lab approach to facilitate accurate diagnosis and personalized management strategies for women on their PCOS journey.
