PCOD Profile
The PCOD Profile is essential for diagnosing and managing polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS), a common hormonal disorder in women. It includes FBS and PPBS tests to assess blood sugar levels, crucial for identifying insulin resistance. Hormonal tests for testosterone, estrogen, and prolactin provide insights into hormonal imbalances affecting menstrual cycles and fertility. LH and FSH evaluate ovarian function, while TSH checks thyroid health. Additionally, cholesterol levels help assess cardiovascular risks often associated with PCOS. This comprehensive profile enables targeted treatment and management strategies for better health outcomes.

Frequently Asked Questions?
What tests are included in a PCOD Profile?
The PCOD Profile includes blood sugar tests, cholesterol, thyroid markers, and key reproductive hormones like LH, FSH, testosterone, estrogen, and prolactin to evaluate hormonal, metabolic, and cardiovascular aspects of PCOD.
How does this PCOD Profile help diagnose PCOS?
This profile identifies hormonal imbalance, insulin resistance, and metabolic changes affecting ovulation and menstrual cycles, helping doctors correlate lab findings with symptoms and imaging to confirm PCOS diagnosis accurately.
What is the difference between PCOD and PCOS?
PCOD mainly affects ovarian function, while PCOS is a broader hormonal and metabolic disorder involving insulin resistance and long-term health risks, often requiring comprehensive medical and lifestyle management.
Why are LH and FSH important in PCOD testing?
LH and FSH levels help assess ovarian function and ovulation. An altered ratio indicates hormonal imbalance linked to irregular cycles, infertility, and disrupted follicle development in women with PCOD.
How does prolactin affect PCOD symptoms?
Elevated prolactin can disrupt ovulation and menstrual regularity, worsening infertility and cycle irregularities, which is why prolactin testing helps rule out overlapping endocrine disorders during PCOD evaluation.
Can thyroid dysfunction mimic PCOD symptoms?
Yes, thyroid imbalance can cause irregular periods, weight gain, fatigue, and infertility similar to PCOD, making TSH testing essential to differentiate thyroid disorders from polycystic ovary syndrome.
Does PCOD increase heart disease risk?
PCOD increases heart disease risk due to insulin resistance, abnormal cholesterol, and chronic inflammation, making lipid profile testing important for early cardiovascular risk assessment and preventive health planning.
Should overweight women take this PCOD Profile test?
Overweight women benefit from PCOD testing because excess weight worsens insulin resistance and hormonal imbalance, increasing risks of irregular cycles, infertility, and metabolic complications needing early intervention.
