Frequently asked questions
Do I need a GP referral for a PCOS endocrine review?
No. You can book directly. The consultant reviews your symptoms and any results and arranges further tests where needed.
How is PCOS diagnosed?
PCOS is diagnosed from a combination of symptoms, blood tests and, where appropriate, an ovarian scan. The consultant explains how the criteria apply to you.
Do you cover fertility concerns?
Yes. The review considers how PCOS may affect fertility and sets out the options, with onward referral where more specialist input is needed.
Will I need blood tests?
Usually, yes. Hormone and metabolic blood tests help confirm the picture and guide treatment. The consultant arranges any that are needed.
Should I also have an ovarian scan?
Sometimes. An endocrine review focuses on hormones and metabolism; a pelvic scan is added where the appearance of the ovaries is relevant.
