Frequently Asked Questions

In order to properly diagnose and treat polycystic ovarian disease (PCOD), a thorough assessment of hormonal and metabolic health is provided by the PCOD Advanced Package (KYC). It supports individualised treatment and monitoring by assisting in the identification of underlying problems like insulin resistance and elevated androgen levels. This thorough understanding lowers the likelihood of related complications and promotes efficient symptom management.
Since insulin resistance is a common feature of PCOD, the fasting glucose test is essential for detecting PCOD. Increased risk of diabetes is indicated by elevated glucose levels, which direct early interventions such as medication and lifestyle modifications to control symptoms and avoid complications.
LH:FSH Ratio helps in analyzing the hormone levels. Any fluctuation in hormone levels may indicate the PCOD.
Since elevated testosterone levels are often observed in women with PCOD, the testosterone test is important in the diagnosis of the illness. Signs of excessive testosterone production include irregular menstrual cycles, acne, and hirsutism (excessive hair growth).
