Vesta Care's PCOS Test delivers complete hormonal and metabolic evaluation for diagnosing and managing Polycystic Ovary Syndrome-the most common endocrine disorder affecting 5-10% of women of reproductive age. This specialized 19-biomarker assessment measures the characteristic hormone imbalances (elevated testosterone, abnormal LH/FSH ratio, prolactin), thyroid function (TSH, Free T3, Free T4), metabolic markers indicating insulin resistance (HbA1c, fasting glucose), cardiovascular risk (lipid profile), and reproductive hormones (estradiol, progesterone).
This comprehensive screening identifies PCOS when symptoms remain vague-irregular periods, difficulty conceiving, unexplained weight gain, acne, or excess facial hair. Early diagnosis enables targeted treatment preventing long-term complications including type 2 diabetes, cardiovascular disease, and infertility that develop when PCOS remains unmanaged.
Women with PCOS typically show LH levels two or three times higher than FSH levels, creating an elevated LH to FSH ratio-for example, LH of 18 mIU/ml with FSH of 6 mIU/ml, both within normal range but showing characteristic PCOS pattern. This disrupted ratio prevents normal ovulation despite apparently "normal" individual hormone levels-explaining why comprehensive testing proves essential for diagnosis.
Testosterone elevation represents the hallmark of PCOS, causing hirsutism, acne, and male-pattern hair loss. Most PCOS testosterone values measure below 150 ng/dL, with values above 200 ng/dL warranting investigation for ovarian or adrenal tumors. However, many women with clear PCOS symptoms have testosterone levels within normal laboratory ranges-emphasizing that PCOS diagnosis requires evaluating multiple biomarkers together rather than relying on single abnormal values.
The prevalence of impaired glucose tolerance and type 2 diabetes proves particularly high in PCOS women, especially those with BMI over 30 kg/m�, strong family diabetes history, or age over 40. HbA1c and fasting glucose assessment reveals insulin resistance driving PCOS pathophysiology-addressing this metabolic dysfunction through lifestyle modification or medication often restores hormonal balance and regular ovulation.
Thyroid dysfunction can mimic PCOS symptoms, making TSH, Free T3, and Free T4 measurement essential for excluding thyroid disorders. Prolactin testing rules out hyperprolactinemia causing similar menstrual irregularities. The lipid profile identifies cardiovascular risk factors commonly elevated in PCOS, while estradiol and progesterone assessment reveals ovulatory dysfunction patterns.
This comprehensive profile suits women experiencing symptoms suggesting PCOS:
Women with family history of PCOS, type 2 diabetes, or metabolic syndrome benefit from screening even without obvious symptoms, as early intervention prevents progression to metabolic complications.
Requires 8-10 hours fasting for accurate glucose and lipid measurement-schedule early morning collection after overnight fast, with water permitted. For menstruating women, optimal testing occurs days 2-5 of the cycle when baseline FSH and LH measurements prove most informative, though testing any time remains acceptable with irregular cycles.
Our DHA-licensed phlebotomist arrives at your Dubai location with all equipment for professional blood collection, drawing samples within minutes through standard venipuncture.
The 19-biomarker panel requires only a single blood draw-our laboratory performs complete analysis across endocrinology, clinical chemistry, and lipid departments.
Samples reach our CAP-accredited laboratory through temperature-controlled logistics maintaining specimen integrity. Advanced analyzers measure each biomarker with precision: chemiluminescent immunoassay for hormones and thyroid, enzymatic assays for glucose and lipids, and HPLC for HbA1c.

Results arrive electronically within 24 hours-enabling rapid diagnosis and treatment initiation. Our DHA-licensed Clinical Pathologist reviews every result before release, identifying characteristic PCOS hormone patterns, recognizing insulin resistance requiring intervention, detecting thyroid dysfunction needing separate treatment, and noting concerning results requiring immediate medical attention.
Complimentary medical consultation follows result delivery. Our DHA-licensed doctors explain how biomarker patterns support or exclude PCOS diagnosis, discuss treatment options including lifestyle modification, metformin for insulin resistance, or hormonal contraception for cycle regulation, recommend additional testing when needed including pelvic ultrasound, arrange gynecology or endocrinology referrals for complex management, and provide evidence-based guidance on fertility optimization for women planning pregnancy.
This PCOS Test provides the complete biomarker assessment recommended for PCOS evaluation-superior to partial hormone panels missing metabolic or thyroid components. Research demonstrates that testosterone alone or combined with androstenedione or LH identifies 86% of PCOS cases when clinical features and ultrasound support diagnosis.
However, comprehensive testing proves essential because PCOS presents heterogeneously-some women show pronounced hormone abnormalities while others display subtle changes requiring complete evaluation for accurate diagnosis. Additionally, identifying insulin resistance and lipid abnormalities guides treatment selection and cardiovascular risk management beyond reproductive concerns.

It's a blood test that checks 19 biomarkers; hormones, thyroid, insulin resistance, and cholesterol to diagnose and manage Polycystic Ovary Syndrome.
The PCOS test at Vesta Care costs AED 499, including home blood collection and a free doctor consultation.
By measuring the LH to FSH ratio, testosterone, prolactin, thyroid, and insulin-resistance markers together PCOS is identified from the overall pattern, not one single value.
Typically, an elevated LH to FSH ratio (with LH often 2–3 times higher than FSH) and raised testosterone, along with signs of insulin resistance, indicate PCOS.
Yes. Many women with PCOS have individual values within the normal range, which is why this test evaluates several biomarkers together to reveal the pattern.
Yes. It includes HbA1c and fasting glucose, since insulin resistance is a key driver of PCOS and raises the risk of type 2 diabetes.
Yes. An 8–10 hour fast is needed for accurate glucose and cholesterol results. Water is allowed.
Days 2–5 of your cycle give the most informative FSH and LH readings. If your periods are irregular, you can test at any time.
The early signs of PCOS include irregular or missed periods, excess facial or body hair, persistent acne, weight gain around the abdomen, hair thinning, and difficulty conceiving.
Yes. It reveals ovulation and hormonal patterns affecting fertility, helping guide treatment for women planning pregnancy.
Yes. Thyroid disorders can mimic PCOS symptoms, so this test includes TSH, Free T3, and free T4 to rule them out.
Yes. A DHA-licensed phlebotomist collects your sample at home anywhere in Dubai with a single blood draw.
Results are delivered within 24 hours, reviewed by a DHA-licensed pathologist, followed by a free doctor consultation to explain them.
