PCOD Profile - Understanding Polycystic Ovarian Disease and its Diagnosis

  • What is Polycystic Ovarian Disease?

    Polycystic Ovarian Disease (PCOD) is a condition seen in adult women. Women with this condition have missed periods, irregular periods, weight gain and facial hair growth. In PCOD, women show multiple small cysts in their ovaries and often also have infertility.

  • How is Polycystic Ovarian Disease diagnosed?

    Diagnosis of Polycystic Ovarian Disease can only be diagnosed by a gynecologist. Blood test and Scans can help to confirm the diagnosis. As per guidelines, the diorder is only confirmed by Ultrasound of the Ovaries in which small cysts will be seen. Blood Tests for hormones are required to support the diagnosis. The following table lists the main points on which the diagnosis is done.

    Criteria Meaning
    Irregular/Missed Periods You have missed periods, or you do not ovulate at all.
    Signs of Increased Testosterone You have excessive facial hair, hair on the upper lip, male pattern balding, weight gain, high blood sugar.
    Cysts in Ovaries You have multiple small cysts in the ovaries, that are detected on Ultrasound scans

  • When should testing be done for Polycystic Ovarian Disease?

    Testing for Polycystic Ovarian Disease can be done at any time, but the preferred time is between day 2-5 of your menstrual cycle. The tests should only be done by women who have attained puberty and menses. The tests may not be done during pregnancy.

  • How is Polycystic Ovarian Disease treated?

    Treatment for Polycystic Ovarian Disease focuses on managing symptoms and may include lifestyle changes, such as weight loss and exercise. Other treatment options are available including hormonal adjustments and others.

Do this panel of tests if you have any of the following symptoms :

  • Irregular Periods

    Polycystic Ovary Syndrome shows missing periods, or lack of regular cycles.

  • Excessive hair growth

    Hair on face, chest, back and arms is seen in PCOS. Male pattern balding may also be seen in extreme cases. This is one of the signs to get tested

  • Weight gain or difficulty losing weight

    Weight gain on the hips or lower waist and difficulty to loose this weight is another important sign that may mean you need a PCOD panel test.

  • Acne or oily skin

    Acne, pimples and oily skin despite adequate hygiene may mean you need a PCOD profile test to rule out PCOS.

  • Infertility, with no abnormalities in the male partner

    Difficulty getting pregnant may be one of the presenting signs of PCOS. The PCOD test for hormones may help in such cases.

Frequently Asked Questions

If you have Polycystic Ovarian Disease your body will produce high levels of androgens(hormones that are normally present at very low levels in females). These hormones cause hair overgrowth, like that seen in men - on your upper lip, back and arms. You will also have missed periods or irregular cycles.

Hypothyroidism or low thyroid levels can mimic PCOD. It is one of the most common disorders which can be confused for PCOD. We included the thyroid test to rule out a thyroid disorder.

The prolactin level does not diagnose PCOD. It is included to rule out high prolactin levels - which can also mimic PCOD. Prolactin levels can cause missed cycles, and infertility. Many PCOD patients have high prolactin levels, but sometimes this prolactin may also be raised due to a tumor in the brain.

In PCOD, there is an increased level of LH(Leutinizing Hormone). This causes an increased ratio of LH/FSH. This change in the LH/FSH ratio adds to the evidence in support of PCOD.

Testosterone levels are increased in PCOD. They help to confirm the diagnosis of PCOD.

Obesity is present in nearly 70% of patients of PCOD. It is one of the reasons that can cause PCOD in women who are genetically predisposed. It also causes a worsening of the symptoms of PCOD. For this reason we have included the LDL Cholesterol test to measure your cholesterol levels.

Insulin is the hormone that normally helps our body to control sugar. Hyperinsulinism is when the insulin levels are higher than normal. This happens because the body does not respond to insulin, and so it makes more insulin. HOMA Index which measures both sugar and insulin levels helps to measure the degree of hyperinsulinism and insulin resistance.

These tests help evaluate your general health and rule out other causes for your symptoms.

No PCOD blood test will not tell you if you are pregnant.

No, this PCOD panel test does not measure ovarian reserve. The test for ovarian reserve is the AMH test.

Blood tests are not diagnostic of PCOD/PCOS. To diagnose PCOD, elevated androgens, cysts in ovary and/or irregular cycles must be detected.

The PCOD Panel Test helps to evaluate various factors associated with PCOD. A diagnosis of PCOD is made based on a combination of clinical symptoms, medical history, and test results.

PCOD stands for Polycystic Ovarian Disease.

There is no difference between these conditions. PCOD or polycystic ovarian disease is an older term for PCOS or polycstic ovarian syndrome.
