About PCOS / PMOS

What Is PCOS?

Polycystic Ovary Syndrome (PCOS), increasingly referred to by some experts as Polyendocrine Metabolic Ovarian Syndrome (PMOS), is one of the most common hormone conditions affecting women of reproductive age.

Many women experience symptoms for years before receiving a diagnosis. These symptoms may include irregular periods, fertility difficulties, acne, weight gain, excess facial hair, hair thinning, insulin resistance and metabolic health concerns.

At Marylebone Diagnostic Centre, our comprehensive PCOS Profile investigates the hormonal, fertility and metabolic factors commonly associated with PCOS, helping provide a clearer picture of your overall health.

Located in Central London, just a 5-minute walk from Baker Street station, we offer rapid testing with results typically available within 24–42 hours depending on the test.

PCOS is a complex hormone and metabolic condition.

Not every woman experiences the same symptoms. Some women have fertility concerns, while others may notice irregular periods, unwanted hair growth or difficulties maintaining a healthy weight.

Full Breakdown

What Is Included in the MDC PCOS Profile?

A multi-system assessment covering metabolic health, cardiovascular risk, fertility, hormones, thyroid function, stress, and nutritional status.

01
Metabolic Health Assessment 4 markers

Understanding insulin resistance is essential because many women with PCOS develop difficulties regulating blood sugar.

Glucose

Measures current blood sugar levels.

HbA1c

Provides an average blood sugar measurement over approximately three months.

Insulin

Measures fasting insulin production.

Fasting Insulin Resistance Index (FIRI)

Helps assess insulin resistance, a common feature of PCOS.

02
Cholesterol & Cardiovascular Risk Assessment 4 markers

Women with PCOS may have an increased risk of abnormal cholesterol levels and cardiovascular disease.

Total Cholesterol

Overall cholesterol measurement.

HDL Cholesterol

Often called "good cholesterol."

LDL Cholesterol

Often called "bad cholesterol."

Triglycerides

Measures circulating fats associated with metabolic syndrome and cardiovascular risk.

03
Fertility & Ovarian Reserve Assessment 4 markers

Key reproductive hormones to assess ovarian function and fertility potential.

Anti-Müllerian Hormone (AMH)

AMH provides information about ovarian reserve and is frequently elevated in women with PCOS. It can assist fertility assessments and help evaluate ovarian function.

LH (Luteinising Hormone)

The relationship between LH and FSH may provide useful information when investigating PCOS and ovulatory function.

FSH (Follicle Stimulating Hormone)

The relationship between LH and FSH may provide useful information when investigating PCOS and ovulatory function.

Progesterone

Helps assess whether ovulation has occurred.

04
Female Hormone Assessment 4 markers

Assessing androgen levels and hormone binding to understand active hormone status.

Testosterone

Higher levels may contribute to:

  • Acne
  • Excess facial hair
  • Hair thinning
SHBG (Sex Hormone Binding Globulin)

Important for understanding active testosterone levels.

DHEA-S

Produced primarily by the adrenal glands and can contribute to androgen-related symptoms.

Prolactin (PRL)

Elevated prolactin can affect menstrual cycles and fertility.

05
Thyroid Function Assessment 2 markers

Thyroid disorders can cause symptoms similar to PCOS.

TSH

Thyroid Stimulating Hormone — primary screening marker for thyroid function.

Free T4 (fT4)

These markers help identify potential thyroid-related causes of menstrual irregularities and fertility concerns.

06
Stress Hormone Assessment 1 marker
Cortisol

Measures the body's primary stress hormone and may provide additional information regarding endocrine health.

07
Nutritional & Protein Assessment 1 marker
Albumin

Provides information regarding protein status and overall health.

For progesterone testing, day 21 of your cycle (or 7 days before your expected period) is generally recommended to assess whether ovulation has occurred. For other markers in the profile, you may attend at any stage of your cycle. If you are unsure, speak with our clinical team when booking.

The blood draw itself typically takes under 10 minutes. Results are available within 24–42 hours depending on the markers tested.
