YOUR HEALTH. A MORE INFORMED VIEW.
Reproductive hormones, thyroid tests, lipids, fasting glucose and HbA1c in a defined PCOS-related profile.
CLINICAL AUTHORDr Nirupama SabhapathySpecialist Clinical Pathology
THE PURPOSE BEHIND THE PANEL.
PCOS is assessed using a combination of history, symptoms and appropriate investigations while considering alternative causes. This panel adds selected reproductive and metabolic measurements. It does not replace the assessment or make every included test necessary for every person.
5tests & panels5 included tests and panels
Different lipid measurements describe different particles and fats in the blood. The clinician combines them with personal and family history, blood pressure and other cardiovascular risk factors.
These are risk-related measurements, not a scan of your arteries and not a test that rules out a heart attack.
2tests & panels2 included tests and panels
Glucose reports the concentration at collection. Where included, HbA1c adds a longer-term view; insulin or C-peptide adds information about insulin production and the sampling context.
Only the tests listed below are included. Fasting and non-fasting measurements answer different questions; HbA1c can be affected by some blood-cell conditions.
3tests & panels3 included tests and panels
TSH describes the pituitary signal, while free T4 and free T3 measure circulating thyroid hormones. Looking at the relationship helps put a single result in context.
The panel does not include thyroid antibodies or ultrasound. Medicines, supplements and other illness may influence the pattern.
6tests & panels6 included tests and panels
These hormones answer different reproductive or endocrine questions. The sampling time, menstrual-cycle stage where relevant, medicines and the reason for testing guide interpretation.
A hormone panel does not on its own establish fertility, diagnose every endocrine condition or replace an examination and individual assessment.
KNOW EXACTLY WHAT YOU ARE CHOOSING.
The headline measurement count includes multi-component panels where present. The included test records and their published nested measurements are displayed separately so the count is transparent.

THE RIGHT START DEPENDS ON YOU.
Choose the investigation around the question you want to discuss. It does not include ultrasound or all possible androgen tests; normal blood results do not by themselves rule out PCOS.
PCOS is assessed using a combination of history, symptoms and appropriate investigations while considering alternative causes. This panel adds selected reproductive and metabolic measurements. It does not replace the assessment or make every included test necessary for every person.
Compare the full included list with your clinician’s request. It does not include ultrasound or all possible androgen tests; normal blood results do not by themselves rule out PCOS.
Bring earlier results and the relevant symptom or treatment history. The clinician can decide whether this scope, a smaller test selection or a different investigation is the most useful next step.
MAKE THE SAMPLE COUNT.
Preparation follows the actual specimen and tests in Polycystic Ovary Syndrome (PCOS). Confirm your personal instructions before collection.

Follow Polycystic Ovary Syndrome (PCOS) from your care bag to an informed conversation.
The right package. The right person.
Add Polycystic Ovary Syndrome (PCOS) to your care bag. Book for yourself or assign the package to someone else. The care team can help match the selection to a request or prescription.
Preparation follows the test.
Confirm the instructions for blood and the appropriate collection arrangements. Correct identification, specimen choice and timing support a useful result.
Laboratory work, behind the finding.
Intel Lab processes the sample and checks the report. The package lists 72 hours; collection timing and any additional laboratory checks may affect release.
A finding, placed in your context.
Read the report with the reason for testing. A clinician can explain unexpected findings, relevant limitations and whether any further assessment is appropriate.

THE NEXT STEP IS PERSONAL.
Connect the laboratory findings with the reason for this specific test. A report supports the next clinical conversation; it does not decide it for you.
Review the hormone and metabolic results with symptoms, cycle history and any relevant examination or imaging. The diagnosis and next steps depend on the combined assessment, rather than a single laboratory pattern.
Discuss this result with a clinician who knows the reason for testing. Further investigations or follow-up depend on the actual findings and your circumstances.
THE LABORATORY BEHIND YOUR RESULTS.

BEFORE YOU BOOK.
Preparation, sample types, timing and what the package does—and does not—include.
Reproductive hormones, thyroid tests, lipids, fasting glucose and HbA1c in a defined PCOS-related profile. The full named inventory on this page is the scope of the package.
No. Diagnosis combines clinical features and selected investigations while excluding other causes. A clinician decides how the included tests fit that process.
No. A hormone pattern alone is not a diagnosis. Clinical features and the appropriate investigations are considered together.
They provide metabolic information that can be relevant to an individual with PCOS or a related clinical concern.
That depends on the assessment. The package does not include ultrasound, and a clinician decides whether it is useful or necessary.
Different hormones may need different cycle timing. Agree the collection day with the care team rather than choosing a universal cycle day from a website.
Yes. Choose home collection across Dubai or a visit to Intel Lab in Deira. Any health package waives the collection fee for its own visit; separate appointments are assessed separately.
The package price is AED 499; the listed turnaround is 72 hours. Confirm collection and processing arrangements with the team. Turnaround is not a guarantee that every result will be released at one exact time.
Review relevant findings with a qualified clinician alongside the reason for testing, symptoms, medicines and prior results. The report may lead to reassurance about the tested question, confirmation, a targeted investigation or follow-up—not an automatic treatment decision.
