PCOS Screening
A diagnostic panel that helps identify polycystic ovary syndrome and related hormonal imbalances.
What is PCOS Screening?
PCOS screening evaluates for polycystic ovary syndrome, a common hormonal condition that can affect menstrual regularity, fertility, and metabolic health. The panel typically includes blood tests for hormone levels, such as testosterone and luteinizing hormone, along with markers related to insulin resistance, combined with a pelvic ultrasound to assess ovarian appearance. Because PCOS is diagnosed based on a combination of symptoms, blood test results, and ultrasound findings rather than any single test, your physician reviews all these results together with your symptom history to reach a diagnosis.
Why is this procedure performed?
- Irregular or absent menstrual periods
- Symptoms such as excess hair growth or acne linked to hormonal imbalance
- Difficulty conceiving
- Unexplained weight gain or difficulty losing weight
- A family history of PCOS or related hormonal conditions
How does this procedure help?
An accurate PCOS diagnosis opens the door to effective management, whether that's addressing menstrual irregularity, supporting fertility, or managing associated metabolic risks such as insulin resistance. Because PCOS can affect long-term health beyond just symptoms, early diagnosis allows for proactive management of these broader risks as well. Many women find real relief simply in having a clear explanation for symptoms they may have experienced for years.
