5 Essential Lab Tests that Every Women with PCOS Needs to Have!

Half of the battle with PCOS is knowing how to advocate for yourself and DEMAND the care you deserve

These tests are crucial to your health and well-being, as they help diagnose PCOS and ensure proper management of symptoms;

1. Hormone Panel: This test measures hormone levels, including testosterone and estrogen, to identify hormonal imbalances that are often associated with PCOS

2. Glucose Tolerance Test: This test helps determine if you have insulin resistance, a common condition among women with PCOS that can lead to diabetes if left untreated

3. Lipid Profile: This test measures cholesterol and triglyceride levels, which can be elevated in women with PCOS, putting them at increased risk for heart disease

4. Thyroid Function Test: This test checks for any issues with your thyroid gland, which can affect your metabolism, weight, and energy levels

5. Pelvic Ultrasound: This test is used to evaluate the ovaries for cysts, which is a common symptom of PCOS

By getting these tests done, you can help identify and manage the symptoms of PCOS early on, potentially preventing long-term health complications.

If you are struggling with a painful or irregular periods, lack of energy, facial hair, intense carb cravings and trouble losing weight, it’s time to put an end to your suffering

For a limited time schedule a 60 minute PCOS session with me to get down to the bottom of your hormone imbalances and start living your best life today!
