Understanding Your Results

The PCOD comprehensive panel results must be interpreted in the context of the patient's age, menstrual phase, clinical symptoms, and ultrasound findings. No single hormone value confirms PCOD.
📊

LH/FSH ratio > 2:1

May be associated with PCOD/PCOS and abnormal GnRH signalling.

📊

Elevated total testosterone or DHEAS

Suggests hyperandrogenism; further adrenal or ovarian evaluation may be required.

📊

Elevated AMH

Supports polycystic ovarian morphology and increased ovarian reserve.

📊

HOMA-IR > 1.9

Suggests insulin resistance, which is frequently seen in PCOD/PCOS.

📊

Abnormal TSH or FT4

Indicates thyroid dysfunction that should be treated before diagnosing PCOS.

⚠️ When to Consult a Doctor:

If you have irregular cycles, infertility, hirsutism, acne, weight gain, or abnormal reports, consult a gynaecologist or endocrinologist. This test is not a self-diagnostic tool.

Limitations

  • This test does not independently diagnose PCOD; ultrasound and clinical assessment are essential.
  • Reference intervals vary with age, assay, and laboratory.
  • HOMA-IR is an indirect marker; hyperinsulinemic-euglycemic clamp is the gold standard for insulin sensitivity.
  • Hormone values in pregnancy are not interpretable using non-pregnant references.

Risks & Considerations

  • Bruising or soreness at the puncture site
  • Dizziness or lightheadedness
  • Small haematoma
  • Very low risk of infection

Interfering Factors

  • Hormonal contraceptives and anti-androgen medications
  • Pregnancy and breastfeeding
  • Biotin supplements
  • Acute stress or infection
  • Menstrual phase at the time of sampling
  • Late sample collection after waking

What is HOMA-IR and why is it included?
HOMA-IR is a calculated index using fasting glucose and fasting insulin. It helps identify insulin resistance, which is common in PCOD/PCOS.
Can PCOD be diagnosed only with this blood test?
No. Diagnosis uses medical history, physical signs, ultrasound findings, and hormone tests. The panel supports diagnosis but is not used alone.
