The Apollo PCOD Advanced panel is a comprehensive laboratory test designed to detect and diagnose Polycystic Ovarian Disease (PCOD) and Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome (PCOS) in women. PCOD and PCOS are common hormonal disorders among women of reproductive age, characterised by irregular menstrual cycles, excess androgen levels, and polycystic ovaries. Diagnosis through the PCOD test can help in managing the condition effectively. 
Some of the common symptoms associated with PCOD and PCOS are: 
Irregular menstrual periods 
Excess hair growth, also known as hirsutism, on the face, chest, back, or other areas 
Persistent acne or severe acne outbreaks 
Weight gain or difficulty in losing weight 
Hair loss or thinning of hair 
Skin discolouration, particularly around the neck, groin, or under the breasts 
The PCOD profile test requires a blood sample for testing. For this, fasting for 10-12 hours is required before the PCOD test to obtain accurate results. A laboratory assistant will take a small sample of blood from a vein in your arm using a sterile needle. The procedure is quick and relatively painless when done by the experts at Apollo. Once the blood sample is collected, it will be sent to a laboratory for analysis. The PCOD profile test includes several specific tests that measure hormone levels in your blood. These tests include: 
Glucose, Fasting: Measures blood glucose levels after fasting to assess insulin resistance 
Thyroid Stimulating Hormone (TSH) - Serum: Evaluates thyroid function 
Testosterone (Total): Measures the total level of testosterone in the blood 
LH (Luteinising Hormone): Assesses the levels of luteinising hormone, which is involved in ovulation and egg release from the ovaries 
17-Alpha-Hydroxyprogesterone (17-OHP): Measures the level of this hormone to evaluate adrenal gland function 
FSH (follicle-stimulating hormone): MonItors the levels of follicle-stimulating hormone, which stimulates the growth of ovarian follicles 
Insulin (Fasting): Assesses insulin levels after fasting to evaluate insulin resistance 
Prolactin: Measures the level of prolactin, a hormone involved in milk production 
Dehydroepiandrosterone Sulphate (DHEAS): Evaluates adrenal gland function 
In the case of a positive diagnosis, treatment options may vary depending on the severity of symptoms and individual needs. It is essential to consult with a doctor who can develop a personalised treatment plan. Treatment options for PCOS may include: 
Lifestyle modifications: Incorporating regular exercise and a balanced diet can help manage weight and improve symptoms. 
Medications: Hormonal contraceptives, anti-androgen medications, or insulin-sensitising drugs may be prescribed to regulate menstrual cycles, reduce androgen levels, and control other symptoms. 
Fertility treatments: In cases where fertility is affected, assisted reproductive technologies may be considered. 

Detection through this PCOD test offers several benefits, including: 
Accurate diagnosis: The PCOD profile test provides a comprehensive evaluation of hormone levels, ensuring an accurate diagnosis. 
Early intervention: Early detection allows for timely intervention and appropriate management of PCOS or PCOD symptoms. 
Personalised treatment plan: The PCOD test results can guide doctors in developing a personalised treatment plan tailored to individual needs.
