Steroid Androgen Profile for Polycystic Ovary Syndrome (PCOS) Test
Comprehensive PCOS Hormone Analysis
The Steroid Androgen Profile for Polycystic Ovary Syndrome (PCOS) represents a cutting-edge diagnostic approach specifically designed to evaluate the hormonal imbalances that characterize PCOS. This comprehensive panel utilizes advanced LC-MS/MS technology to provide precise measurements of key androgen hormones, offering clinicians and patients invaluable insights into the underlying endocrine disruptions driving PCOS symptoms.
What This Test Measures
Our Steroid Androgen Profile examines three critical hormones essential for PCOS diagnosis and management:
- Androstenedione: A precursor hormone that converts to testosterone and estrogen
- DHEAS (Dehydroepiandrosterone Sulfate): An adrenal androgen marker indicating adrenal gland involvement
- Testosterone, Total: The primary male hormone often elevated in PCOS patients
Who Should Consider This Test?
This specialized hormone profile is particularly recommended for women experiencing:
- Irregular menstrual cycles or absence of periods
- Difficulty conceiving or unexplained infertility
- Excessive facial or body hair growth (hirsutism)
- Persistent acne or oily skin
- Male-pattern hair thinning or baldness
- Weight gain, particularly around the abdomen
- Skin tags or darkening of skin folds (acanthosis nigricans)
- Mood changes, anxiety, or depression
Clinical Benefits of PCOS Hormone Testing

- Accurate Diagnosis: Differentiate PCOS from other endocrine disorders
- Personalized Treatment: Tailor medication and lifestyle interventions based on specific hormone imbalances
- Fertility Planning: Identify hormonal barriers to conception
- Long-term Health Monitoring: Track treatment effectiveness and adjust strategies accordingly
- Metabolic Risk Assessment: Understand associated risks for diabetes and cardiovascular conditions
Understanding Your Test Results
Your results will provide detailed information about your androgen hormone levels:
- Normal Ranges: Results within expected parameters for your age and health status
- Elevated Androgens: Indicates classic PCOS hormonal pattern requiring intervention
- Adrenal vs. Ovarian Source: DHEAS levels help determine the primary source of androgen excess
- Treatment Guidance: Specific hormone elevations guide medication selection and dosing
