Overview
What is PCOD (POLYCYSTIC OVARIAN DISEASE) COMPREHENSIVE PANEL ?
PCOD (Polycystic ovarian disease) shows multiple small cysts in the ovaries which contain immature eggs / ova. Symptoms usually develop at puberty around the first menstrual period. There is hormonal imbalance with excess of male hormone androgen which results in increased facial & body hair called hirsutism. Menstrual cycles are irregular & this can lead to infertility. Risk factors for PCOD include: insulin resistance; low grade infection in ovaries; heredity; excess androgens. Complications of PCOD are infertility, miscarriage, metabolic syndrome, diabetes, depression etc. This is a more advanced panel for PCOD.

Usage
Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome (PCOS) affects 5-10% of women of reproductive age, making it the most common endocrine disorder of women in this age group. It is characterized by amenorrhea, hirsuitism and infertility. It is caused by a complex interaction of abnormalities in gonadotropins, androgens & estrogens. Insulin resistance and hyperinsulinemia contribute significantly to its pathophysiology. Although PCOS is associated with hyperandrogenism & infertility early in life, it is a harbinger of a lifelong condition that can lead to serious sequelae such as Endometrial or Ovarian cancer, Diabetes mellitus & Coronary artery disease. Thus, it is crucial to diagnose PCOS early in its course not only to recognize but also to delay or arrest its metabolic sequelae.
