PCOS Awareness: Key Tests Every Indian Woman Should Know

Polycystic Ovary Syndrome affects roughly 20% of Indian women — yet a majority go years without a diagnosis. Early testing changes outcomes dramatically.

Common Symptoms to Watch

• Irregular or missed periods
• Sudden weight gain, especially abdominal
• Acne, oily skin, and hair fall
• Excess facial or body hair
• Difficulty conceiving

The PCOS Test Panel

• LH and FSH — to assess hormone ratio
• Testosterone (Total and Free) — androgen excess
• Prolactin — to rule out other causes
• Thyroid Profile — overlap with PCOS symptoms
• Fasting Insulin and HbA1c — insulin resistance
• Vitamin D — often deficient in PCOS

Why Early Diagnosis Matters

PCOS raises long-term risk of diabetes, heart disease, and infertility. Catching it early lets you intervene with lifestyle and medical care.
