Polycystic Ovary Syndrome (PCOS) is a hormonal disorder common among women of reproductive age, and may be characterized by irregular menstrual cycles, excessive hair growth, cystic acne, or weight management issues. This panel also focuses on extended androgens, crucial for helping identify potential PCOS. These tests help uncover elevated androgen levels, which are commonly a key indicator of the condition. Detailed androgen-related labs provide vital information for accurate diagnosis, guiding effective treatment strategies to manage the symptoms and prevent long-term health complications associated with PCOS. (If) able to track, this test is best performed during the early follicular phase of your menstrual cycles for accurate ratio readings between LH/FSH. Fasting is recommended for this test due to insulin reading.
After order completion, a provider will submit your Lab Requisition Form to Labcorp, within 24 (business) hours. You will also be emailed a copy of your LRF to take to your nearest Labcorp with valid photo ID. Your results will be available in your Labcorp Patient Portal as soon as they become available.
