PCOS Profile Test
A PCOS profile test looks at the blood markers behind polycystic ovary syndrome. Booked through Zen Vitals, the panel is run by AIWO's lab for an average of 10% less than booking direct.
Book a ConsultationWhy the test exists
Genetic and environmental factors, including a sedentary lifestyle, eating habits and stress, play an important part in the occurrence of polycystic ovarian syndrome in women. Getting a picture early tends to improve outcomes, because the condition responds to changes made before symptoms become entrenched.
A polycystic ovary syndrome test does not diagnose on blood alone. It gives your doctor the biochemical half of the picture, which is then read against symptoms, cycle history and imaging. That is how PCOS screening leads to a diagnosis rather than a suspicion.
Lab tests included
The PCOS health profile includes a full blood count alongside the hormone and metabolic markers, since anaemia and inflammation often sit behind the fatigue that brings women in.

What the panel is looking at
- 01
Hormones
PCOS hormone testing covers the androgen and reproductive markers that drive irregular cycles, acne and unwanted hair growth. Reading them as a set, rather than one at a time, is what makes this a proper hormonal health test rather than a spot check.
- 02
Metabolism
Metabolic health and PCOS are closely linked, and insulin resistance is common. Glucose and insulin markers show whether that link is active in your case, which changes what AIWO's doctor recommends first.
- 03
Blood and inflammation
The full blood count picks up anaemia, infection and inflammatory patterns that can mimic or worsen PCOS symptoms. It also gives a baseline for future comparison, which matters if you are going to be tested repeatedly over the years.
- 04
Context
AIWO's doctor reviews the lifestyle factors PCOS is sensitive to, including sleep, activity and eating patterns. The relationship between stress and PCOS is well recognised, and a PCOS lifestyle assessment covers it properly rather than in passing.
Preparation and collection
Fast for ten to twelve hours before the sample, drinking only water. AIWO will advise on cycle timing when the appointment is booked, because some hormone markers read differently depending on where you are in your cycle.
You can arrange a PCOS blood test at home, where a certified medical professional visits your address, collects the sample with hygienic equipment and takes it to the laboratory. A PCOS test at home removes the queue, which many women prefer for something this personal.
What happens after the test
The soft copy of your report is emailed to your registered address and a hard copy is couriered to you. AIWO then schedules a free online video consultation with one of their doctors so you can have your questions answered before you decide anything.
AIWO's clinicians will walk you through the results and set out what comes next. That may mean imaging, a repeat panel, PCOS nutrition support from their dietitian, or referral onward. This is PCOS diagnosis support: the panel is one step in a process, not the whole of it.
