What is PCOS?

Polycystic Ovary Syndrome (PCOS) is a prevalent hormone disorder among women of reproductive age. It is brought about by hormonal imbalances that affect ovulation and other hormonal functions.

PCOS อาการ (Symptoms) include irregular menstrual periods, acne, excessive body hair, weight gain or loss, and infertility issues. The causes of polycystic ovarian syndrome are not yet known, but some of the contributing factors include genetics and insulin resistance.

The timely evaluation and treatment of the condition will help manage symptoms and promote the health and wellness of the reproductive system.

Evaluation and Diagnosis Process of PCOS

The diagnosis of PCOS is based on the internationally accepted Rotterdam Criteria and the evidence-based clinical practice guidelines. Other diseases that might produce similar symptoms need to be ruled out before making a diagnosis.

Diagnosis of PCOS can be made in case at least two of the following three criteria are met:

1. Ovulatory Dysfunction

The dysfunction might lead to:

• Frequent menstruation
• Irregular menstrual cycle
• Absence of menstruation (amenorrhea)

2. Hyperandrogenism (Androgen Excess)

High levels of androgens could be found using clinical and laboratory methods.

Clinical features include:

• Frequent acne
• Hirsutism
• Skin oiliness

3. Polycystic Ovary Morphology (PCOM)

It involves multiple ovarian follicles and could be detected as follows:

• The ultrasound of the ovaries is consistent with PCOM; or
• The high levels of anti-Müllerian hormone (AMH).

Who Is a Candidate for a PCOS Hormone Profile in Bangkok?

Testing for PCOS Hormone Profile is considered in cases where women show signs that may be attributed to imbalances in hormonal levels or problems with their reproductive system, including suspected Polycystic Ovary Syndrome (PCOS). A few major cases are:

• Women With Irregular Periods: Women who have infrequent or irregular menstruation may be suffering from the problem of ovulatory dysfunction, which is the primary marker of Polycystic Ovary Syndrome.
• Individuals Suffering From Symptoms of Androgen Excess: Severe acne, presence of hirsutism, and hair thinning in women with irregular menstruation can be related to high levels of androgen in the body.
• Women Suffering from PCOS: These patients may suffer from clinical signs suggesting PCOS, PCOM, or metabolic disorders, like obesity.
• Women Having Fertility Problems: Infertile women or those having problems getting pregnant and facing miscarriages may need testing for the hormonal profile to detect any hormonal imbalances in their bodies.
• People With Metabolic Risk Factors: Metabolic risk factors like obesity, insulin resistance, and metabolic syndrome are related to PCOS and may predispose one to hormonal problems.
• People With New Symptoms: Development of symptoms like irregular menstruation, acne, or too much body hair can point to hormonal imbalances requiring further attention.
• People with a Family History of PCOS: Family history of PCOS in a close blood relative increases the risk of the condition developing.

A Closer Look at Our PCOS Package

Our PCOS Hormone Profile is developed based on the 2023 International Evidence-Based Guideline for the Assessment and Management of PCOS, which is in line with the globally recognised criteria of the Rotterdam Criteria for diagnosis of PCOS.

This package provides a thorough analysis of hormonal profiles that relate to PCOS to diagnose ovulatory dysfunction, hyperandrogenism, and PCOS ovarian morphology (PCOM).

Package Parameters

• Total Testosterone: This test is a key marker used to assess elevated androgen levels and forms an important part of the internationally recognised diagnostic criteria for PCOS.
• Free Testosterone (Calculated): As the active form of testosterone in the body, Free Testosterone is closely associated with common PCOS symptoms such as acne and hirsutism and can improve diagnostic accuracy beyond total testosterone levels alone.
• AMH (Anti-Müllerian Hormone): Levels are often significantly increased in patients with PCOS and show a strong association with the number of follicles present in the ovaries.
• TSH (Thyroid Stimulating Hormone): Evaluates thyroid function to help identify conditions that may contribute to irregular menstrual cycles, weight fluctuations, and symptoms that overlap with PCOS.
• Prolactin: Elevated prolactin levels can disrupt ovulation and menstrual cycles, while also causing symptoms that resemble androgen excess, making it important to differentiate from PCOS.
• DHEA-S (Dehydroepiandrosterone sulfate): As a key hormone produced by the adrenal glands, DHEA-S helps differentiate PCOS from adrenal-related conditions. Significantly increased levels may suggest adrenal abnormalities that require further evaluation.

Taken together, these tests form an in-depth analysis of one’s hormonal state, allowing for early detection and efficient management of PCOS through tailored therapy.

Patient Preparation and Test Details

• It is advised that patients refrain from taking oral contraceptives at least three months before undergoing the test, as hormonal drugs may affect the hormone levels and the evaluation process.

• Even though the test can be taken on any day of the menstrual period, the time between the 2nd and 5th day is more preferable for an accurate evaluation of testosterone levels and other reproductive hormones.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

Q1: Why is early detection of PCOS important?

Ans: Early detection can assist in managing the symptoms, decreasing the chance of developing chronic diseases such as type 2 diabetes and heart problems, and enhancing reproductive health outcomes.

Q2: Can I have PCOS if I have regular periods?

Ans: Yes. While irregular menstrual cycles are a common symptom of PCOS, some women with the condition may continue to have regular periods. They may still experience other signs of PCOS, such as acne, excessive hair growth (hirsutism), elevated androgen levels, or polycystic ovaries.

Q3: Does PCOS affect fertility?

Ans: Yes. PCOS is one of the leading causes of ovulation-related infertility, as hormonal imbalances can interfere with the regular release of eggs from the ovaries. However, with early diagnosis, appropriate treatment, and lifestyle modifications, many women with PCOS can successfully conceive.

Q4: Is PCOS only associated with overweight or obesity?

Ans: No. Although weight gain and obesity are commonly associated with PCOS, the condition can affect women of all body types. Even women with a healthy weight can develop PCOS and experience symptoms related to hormonal and metabolic imbalances.

Q5: Can PCOS be regarded as a lifelong illness?

Ans: PCOS is a chronic hormonal disorder that does not have any cure, but it is manageable by means of adequate treatment, appropriate lifestyle modification and constant control over one’s health state. Timely treatment and diagnosis will allow improving the hormonal state and increasing fertility chances, while decreasing the possibility of developing health problems.

Q6: Is PCOS likely to result in other health disorders?

Ans: Yes. If neglected, PCOS might increase the probability of the following health conditions: insulin resistance, type 2 diabetes, high cholesterol, high blood pressure, sleep apnea, and heart disease.
