PCOS
PCOS labs, in female context
LH, FSH, AMH, insulin, and thyroid markers in context.
PCOS is not only a hormone pattern. It often includes metabolic signals such as insulin resistance long before glucose or HbA1c clearly change. Decode helps you review your full lab picture, not a single number in isolation.
What to look at first
- LH / FSH: helps assess ovulatory signaling patterns.
- AMH: often elevated in PCOS, interpreted with cycle history and ultrasound context.
- Fasting insulin + glucose: early metabolic risk signal, often missed in routine panels.
- SHBG + testosterone: helps explain androgen-related symptoms.
- TSH + Free T4/T3: thyroid overlap can mimic or worsen PCOS symptoms.
Why female context matters
Cycle day, contraceptive use, perimenopause transition, and symptom history all change what a result means.
Educational context only
Decode does not diagnose PCOS or recommend treatment. Methodology, limits & clinician handoff.
