Hormonal Acne, Irregular Periods, and Hair Growth – Could It Be PCOS?

When Everyday Symptoms Point to Hormone Imbalance

If you’re struggling with adult acne, unpredictable periods, or excess hair growth, it might be more than just a cosmetic concern.

These are some of the most common signs of Polycystic Ovary Syndrome (PCOS) – a hormonal condition that affects up to 1 in 10 women in the UK.

At Marylebone Diagnostic Centre, we offer fast, discreet PCOS blood tests from our Central London clinic near Paddington, Harley Street, and Marylebone.

Our PCOS panel includes:

  • Testosterone (Free & Total)
  • LH & FSH
  • DHEA-S
  • Oestradiol (E2)
  • SHBG & Prolactin
  • Optional: Thyroid Function, Insulin Resistance, Vitamin D

No referral required. Same-day appointments available.

You’re Not Imagining It. And You’re Not Alone.

Many women go years without a diagnosis.
They’re told it’s “Just hormonal,” “just stress,” or “just part of being a woman.”

But acne that won’t respond to skincare, long gaps between periods, or thicker facial hair could be signs your hormones are out of balance.

We support women of all backgrounds, ages, and stages – from teens with acne, to women trying to conceive, to clients in their 30s and 40s taking control of their long-term health.

You don’t have to wait for things to get worse. You can act now.

FAQs – PCOS and Hormone Testing for Acne, Periods, and Hair Growth

Can acne really be caused by hormones?
Yes. Elevated androgens like testosterone and DHEA-S often trigger persistent breakouts.
How do you test for PCOS?
With a blood panel checking multiple hormone levels that influence ovulation, skin, and hair.
Do I need an ultrasound too?
An ultrasound helps with a full diagnosis, and we can refer you for one. Blood tests are the first step.
Will birth control affect my results?
Yes – please tell us what you’re taking so we can interpret results accurately.
Can I test during my period?
Ideally, testing is done between day 2–5 of your cycle, but we can adjust depending on your situation.
Can PCOS cause weight gain and mood changes?
Yes. PCOS often disrupts insulin and hormone regulation, which can affect energy, mood, and weight.
How soon do I get my results?
Within 24 to 48 hours for most markers.
What happens if my hormones are abnormal?
We’ll explain everything clearly and guide you to the next steps, including supplements or referrals.
Is this test painful?
Not at all. It’s a quick and gentle blood draw.
Can I combine this with a fertility panel?
Absolutely. Many women do — we offer discounted bundles.
