The PCOD Profile is a combination of hormonal tests used to evaluate Polycystic Ovarian Disease. It assesses hormonal imbalance involving ovaries, pituitary, and adrenal glands, which affects ovulation and menstrual cycles.

It is recommended for women experiencing irregular periods, excessive hair growth, acne, weight gain, infertility, or ultrasound findings suggestive of polycystic ovaries.

Abnormal levels of LH, FSH, prolactin, and androgens support the diagnosis of PCOD. Results help guide lifestyle management and medical treatment.

Test Procedure and Preparation

Blood samples are taken, usually during the early phase of the menstrual cycle. Fasting may be required for certain components.
