PCOS Screening
A diagnostic panel that helps identify polycystic ovary syndrome as part of a fertility evaluation.
What is PCOS Screening?
PCOS screening within a fertility evaluation assesses for polycystic ovary syndrome, a common hormonal condition that is one of the leading causes of ovulation-related infertility. The panel typically includes blood tests for hormone levels, such as testosterone and luteinizing hormone, along with markers related to insulin resistance, combined with a pelvic ultrasound to assess ovarian appearance. Your fertility specialist reviews these results together with your symptom and cycle history to confirm a diagnosis and discuss its specific implications for your fertility treatment plan.
Why is this procedure performed?
- Irregular or absent ovulation affecting fertility
- Difficulty conceiving alongside irregular menstrual cycles
- Symptoms such as excess hair growth or acne linked to hormonal imbalance
- As part of a comprehensive fertility work-up
- A family history of PCOS or related hormonal conditions
How does this procedure help?
Confirming a PCOS diagnosis within your fertility evaluation allows your specialist to recommend targeted treatment, whether that's medication to induce ovulation, lifestyle guidance, or assisted reproductive techniques suited to your specific hormonal profile. Because PCOS is a well-understood and manageable cause of infertility, many patients with this diagnosis go on to conceive successfully with appropriate treatment. Clear diagnostic information also helps set realistic expectations for your fertility treatment timeline.
