Hormonal profile in PCOS

  1. Hormonal profile is an important diagnostic tool for polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS).
  2. PCOS patients often have elevated testosterone levels and insulin resistance.
  3. The hormonal profile of PCOS patients often shows increased production of LH (luteinizing hormone) and decreased production of FSH (follicle-stimulating hormone).
  4. The level of progesterone in the second phase of the cycle in women with PCOS may be reduced due to ovulation disorders.
  5. Hormonal tests of PCOS patients should also take into account the levels of thyroid hormones and cortisol, which may influence the development of the disease.
