Test Description: Polycystic Ovarian Disease (PCOD) Profile

The PCOD (Polycystic Ovarian Disease) profile is a set of tests designed to evaluate hormonal and metabolic imbalances associated with PCOD. It typically includes tests for elevated levels of testosterone, insulin, luteinizing hormone (LH), and follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH), as well as a glucose tolerance test and lipid profile. This profile helps diagnose PCOD, a condition that affects a woman’s hormonal balance, leading to symptoms like irregular periods, infertility, weight gain, and excessive hair growth. It aids in managing and monitoring the condition by providing insights into hormonal and metabolic health.
