PCOS stands for polycystic ovary syndrome (or Stein – Leventhal syndrome), which covers not only the ovaries but the whole body. In addition to genetic predisposition, lifestyle (overweight, stress, sedentary lifestyle) is an important factor in the development of metabolic disorders affecting the female hormonal system. Nowadays, its occurrence is very common, affecting about 5-7% of women.
What tests does the PCOS package include?
The PCOS laboratory package includes testing for female and male sex hormones, monitoring thyroid function and vitamin D levels, and a 3-point oral glucose tolerance test combined with insulin measurement.
How do I prepare for the test?
Sampling takes place at two times.
The first sampling happens between days 3-5 of menstruation (days 3 to 5 from the start of bleeding). This is when most hormone tests (AMH, FSH, LH, testosterone, prolactin, oestradiol, androstenedione, DHEA), thyroid function and vitamin D levels, as well as oral glucose tolerance and blood sugar tests are performed. The glucose tolerance test means 3 samples on this day: one on an empty stomach and then one at 60 and 120 minutes after consuming the glucose-containing fluid. It is recommended that a diet of 150 grams of carbohydrate be maintained for at least 3 days prior to the test, and a 12-hour fast is required for fasting blood sampling prior to the test.
The second sampling takes place on day 21 of menstruation, at which time progesterone levels are monitored. It is no longer necessary to arrive with an empty stomach for this sampling.
When is the result expected?
The test results of the first sampling will be available on the 17th working day after sampling. The results of the second sampling will be uploaded to our online system on the 3rd working day after the sampling.
