PCOS Test Dubai – Comprehensive Polycystic Ovary Syndrome Assessment at Home

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).

At AED 429, 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.

Understanding PCOS Biomarkers

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/m², 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.

Who Needs PCOS Testing?

This comprehensive profile suits women experiencing symptoms suggesting PCOS:

• Irregular or absent periods indicating ovulation problems
• Difficulty conceiving after 6-12 months of trying
• Excess facial or body hair suggesting elevated androgens
• Persistent acne beyond teenage years
• Unexplained weight gain particularly around abdomen
• Hair thinning or loss in male-pattern distribution
• Darkened skin patches indicating insulin resistance

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.

Professional At-Home Collection

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.

24-Hour Comprehensive Results

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.

Comprehensive PCOS Diagnosis

At AED 429, 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.
