Measuring glucose metabolism capability and diagnosing insulin resistance directly.

Thyroid & Cardiovascular

Women with PCOS often face an increased risk of heart disease due to abnormal cholesterol. Thyroid function is also checked to rule out other metabolic causes.

TSH
Free T4
Cholesterol Total
Triglycerides
HDL & LDL

Your Appointment Day

Fasting for 8 to 10 hours before the test is generally required to ensure accurate glucose, insulin, and lipid measurements. Upon arrival at Medical Diagnosis Victoria, please check in at reception. A qualified phlebotomist will take a small, quick blood sample from your arm. The process is simple and usually takes only a few minutes. While walk-ins are welcome, booking a slot online ensures priority service and reduces your waiting time.

How To Read Your Laboratory Results

Your results will list your values alongside standard reference ranges. If a result falls outside the range, it is noted for review. Important: A single out-of-range value does not automatically indicate a medical problem. Results must be assessed in conjunction with your medical history and clinical examination.

Most Searched Online Questions About PCOS

What exactly is Polycystic Ovary Syndrome (PCOS)?
PCOS is a common hormonal disorder characterized by irregular menstrual cycles, excessive androgen levels, and often the presence of multiple small cysts on the ovaries.
Why is insulin resistance linked to PCOS?
Insulin resistance prevents cells from using insulin effectively, prompting the body to produce more. High insulin levels can increase androgen production, worsening PCOS symptoms.
How does PCOS affect fertility?
The hormonal imbalances in PCOS can interfere with the growth and release of eggs from the ovaries, making ovulation irregular and thereby making it more difficult to conceive.
What are normal testosterone levels for women?
While all women produce some testosterone, normal levels are generally quite low. Elevated testosterone is a primary driver behind symptoms like acne and excessive body hair in PCOS patients.
Can PCOS be cured?
There is currently no absolute cure for PCOS, but its symptoms can be highly effectively managed through lifestyle changes, diet, weight management, and specific medical treatments.
