PCOS

What Does This Test Check?

The PCOS Check looks at the hormone and metabolic signs that often accompany polycystic ovary syndrome, including testosterone, LH and blood sugar handling. It helps show whether symptoms such as irregular periods, acne or excess hair growth line up with PCOS-type changes.

Medichecks is the cheapest at 76 pounds, ahead of Goodbody Clinic at 89 pounds, Thriva at 121.50 pounds and Forth at 175 pounds. Goodbody runs in-clinic testing while the others are home kits, and Forth carries the highest price tag on this page.

An abnormal result may indicate a PCOS pattern, but raised androgens or an odd LH ratio can also occur for other reasons. A diagnosis of PCOS needs your doctor to weigh symptoms, scans and several blood results together, so treat this screen as evidence to discuss with your GP rather than a conclusion.
