About the package
Inside the Polycystic Ovary Syndrome (PCOS)
Polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) has a hormonal side and a metabolic side; a PCOS Test in Dubai should cover both. The panel runs 16 markers from a single blood draw in four groups: the reproductive hormones estradiol (E2), follicle stimulating hormone (FSH), luteinising hormone (LH), progesterone, prolactin and total testosterone; full thyroid function, with thyroid stimulating hormone (TSH), free thyroxine (FT4) and free tri-iodothyronine (FT3); blood sugar, with fasting glucose and glycated haemoglobin (HbA1c); and a complete lipid profile. It is for women with irregular or absent periods, acne, unwanted hair growth or scalp thinning, and for women already living with a PCOS diagnosis.
No blood result settles PCOS on its own, but bloods do most of the groundwork. A raised total testosterone is the biochemical evidence of androgen excess, and an LH that outpaces FSH is a frequent accompanying pattern. Prolactin problems and thyroid disease produce irregular cycles that look much the same, so this panel checks them in the same draw rather than sending you back for a second. The metabolic half carries equal weight: insulin resistance travels with PCOS, so fasting glucose and HbA1c screen for prediabetes and diabetes, and the lipid markers pick up the raised triglycerides and low HDL that often accompany it.
Everything comes from one blood sample, with two preparation rules. Fast for 8–12 hours overnight (plain water is fine) because the fasting glucose and lipid results are only interpretable that way. And ask your doctor whether the draw should fall on a particular cycle day, since FSH, LH, estradiol and progesterone are read against where you are in the month. Free home collection is available anywhere in Dubai, 7 days a week, and your physician-reviewed Smart Report follows within 72 hours.
The report also carries three values the laboratory calculates from results already in the panel, at no extra cost: Cholesterol/HDL Ratio, LDL/HDL Ratio and Non-HDL Cholesterol.

How it works
From booking to answers in a few days
- 1
Fast overnight, plain water only
Nothing to eat for 8–12 hours before the appointment. The fasting glucose and the lipid markers depend on it; the hormones and thyroid tests are unaffected either way.
- 2
Check the cycle day with your doctor
FSH, LH, estradiol and progesterone are interpreted against the phase of your cycle, so your doctor may nominate a particular day. Tell our team and we will schedule around it.
- 3
16 markers from one draw
A DHA-licensed phlebotomist takes the sample at home, at your office or at the lab. Hormones, thyroid, blood sugar and lipids are all run from that single visit.
- 4
Full report within 72 hours
A physician reviews every result before release. Your Smart Report groups the markers by system and adds the calculated cholesterol ratios, so the metabolic picture reads as one piece.
FAQ
Frequently asked questions
16 markers in four groups: reproductive hormones (estradiol, FSH, LH, progesterone, prolactin, total testosterone), full thyroid function (TSH, FT4, FT3), blood sugar (fasting glucose and HbA1c) and a complete lipid profile. One blood draw covers all of them.
Not by itself. PCOS is recognised from a combination of irregular ovulation, evidence of androgen excess and the appearance of the ovaries on ultrasound. This panel supplies the biochemical evidence and checks the conditions that imitate PCOS; your gynaecologist puts the pieces together.
Because both can produce the same picture. An underactive thyroid and a raised prolactin each cause irregular or absent periods, and both are treatable in their own right. Checking them in the same sample prevents a PCOS label being applied to something else.
Insulin resistance sits at the centre of PCOS for many women, and it shows up in the metabolic markers long before it shows up as a symptom. Fasting glucose and HbA1c screen for prediabetes and diabetes, and the lipid results flag the cardiovascular risk that tends to travel alongside.
Not directly: it screens the consequences of insulin resistance through fasting glucose and HbA1c rather than measuring the hormone. If your doctor wants the hormone itself, fasting insulin and the HOMA-IR index can be added at checkout.
That is your doctor's call, and it depends on the question being asked: the pituitary and ovarian hormones each mean something different at different points in the month. If your periods have stopped altogether, the draw is usually taken whenever is convenient.
Your doctor sets the interval, and it is usually the metabolic markers rather than the hormones that drive it. HbA1c reflects the last two to three months of blood sugar, so repeating sooner than that rarely shows a real change; lipids are typically reviewed on a similar rhythm.
It can point to a cause. Raised androgens explain acne and unwanted hair growth in many women, and thyroid disease is a recognised cause of diffuse thinning. If shedding is the main concern, the Hair Loss Profile adds iron, ferritin and the vitamin markers.
Fast for 8–12 hours overnight, drinking plain water only, then eat normally straight after the draw. Because the panel spans hormones, thyroid, sugar and lipids, results are released together within 72 hours as a physician-reviewed Smart Report.
AED 499 covers all 16 markers, the calculated cholesterol ratios and free home collection anywhere in Dubai, 7 days a week, by a DHA-licensed phlebotomist. An early morning slot suits an overnight fast best, and a lab visit is available instead.

Adil AfridiI had my full OGTT done at Intel Lab and had a great experience. The employees were very friendly, welcoming, and accommodating throughout the process. They explained each step clearly, which really helped ease my nerves. They also took my blood sample very carefully, especially since I’m afraid of needles, which I truly appreciated. Everything was handled professionally and smoothly. Highly recommended!
