Description
The Polycystic Ovary Syndrome Home Blood Test offers a simple, at-home blood test that can indicate the presence of PCOS. This is the consequence of hormonal imbalance and, while it affects roughly 5-10% of women of reproductive age, it is renowned for going undiagnosed for extended periods of time. The test is recommended for those who have irregular menstrual cycles, excess hair growth, insulin resistance or stubborn acne.

Hormones: Hormones govern every activity of your body, from growth and metabolism to reproduction and your sleep cycle. Even a small imbalance in your hormone levels can have a significant impact on your health, affecting your mood and energy levels as well as fertility and libido. Hormones are known as chemical messengers which are manufactured in your glands and released into your bloodstream. They instruct your body in everything it does – regulating appetite, growth, mood and reproduction. Generally they keep the body functioning and in balance. Hormone disorders are common and can often be put right through hormone replacement therapy or lifestyle changes. Hormone levels fluctuate throughout the day and also, for women, through the reproductive cycle.

You are having difficulty getting pregnant and want to rule out or confirm polycystic ovary syndrome
