FEATURING ZRT LABORATORY TESTING!

Reliable, Accurate, Easy-to-Use!

TEST WITH CONFIDENCE

PCOS refers to multiple cysts on the ovaries and a host of other problems that go along with them, including anovulation (lack of ovulation) and menstrual abnormalities, hirsutism (facial hair), male pattern baldness, acne, and often obesity. Such women may also have varying degrees of insulin resistance and an increased incidence of Type II diabetes, unfavorable lipid patterns (usually high triglycerides), and a low bone density. Laboratory tests often show higher than normal circulating androgens, especially testosterone.

Here's where to read a detailed article about PCOS by Dr. John Lee and Virginia Hopkins.

Below are listed the tests that may help you determine whether you have PCOS. Women with PCOS typically have high fasting insulin, high testosterone and low progesterone.
