What you'll discover

Five things most Indian women are never told about their own health.

PCOS · Gene THADA

Can genes cause irregular periods and PCOS?

Yes. PCOS, or Polycystic Ovary Syndrome, has a clear genetic link. It is one of the most common hormonal conditions in women of reproductive age, affecting up to 1 in 5 Indian women, yet most women spend years not understanding why their periods are irregular, why their weight keeps shifting, or why their skin keeps breaking out.

PCOS is not just a reproductive issue. Left unmanaged, it can increase the risk of type 2 diabetes, heart disease, and difficulty conceiving. The earlier you know your genetic tendency, the earlier you can act on it.

What this test checks

Good · Low risk

Your genetic tendency for PCOS, including hormonal imbalance, irregular cycles, and a connected risk for type 2 diabetes.

Sample result: "Your genes suggest a normal risk for this condition. Keep a healthy weight and stay active."

Signs to watch for

Irregular or missed periods
Heavier or more painful periods than usual
Unexpected hair growth on face, chest, or back
Acne that keeps coming back around the chin and jaw
Weight gain around the waist that is hard to shift
Thinning hair on the scalp
Dark patches of skin in body creases like the neck or underarms

Pregnancy loss · MTHFR, FOXP3

Can genes increase the risk of miscarriage?

Yes. Some women carry gene variants that affect how the body supports a pregnancy, either in how it processes a key nutrient called folate or in how the immune system behaves during pregnancy. Both can raise the risk of miscarriage, especially recurring loss.

India fact: Pregnancy loss affects roughly 1 in 8 known pregnancies. In many cases it happens more than once, and couples are left without a clear explanation. Genetic testing before pregnancy is not yet standard in India, but it should be.

What this test checks

Good · Low risk

MTHFR: how well your body processes folate, a nutrient critical for a healthy pregnancy and the baby’s early development. FOXP3: how your immune system behaves during pregnancy, as immune reactions that go wrong are a significant cause of repeated miscarriage.

Sample result: "Your genes suggest a normal risk for pregnancy loss. Eat a healthy diet and take folate supplements before and during pregnancy."

Signs to watch for

Heavy spotting or bleeding during pregnancy
Severe stomach pain or cramping
History of two or more miscarriages without a clear reason
Discharge of tissue or fluid during pregnancy
Severe back pain during early pregnancy

Post-pregnancy depression · COMT

Can genes raise the risk of depression during or after pregnancy?

Yes. Some women carry a gene variant that makes them more sensitive to stress, particularly during the hormonal shifts of pregnancy and childbirth. This is not a personality weakness or a sign of being a bad mother. It is a genetic profile that shows up in how the brain manages certain chemicals.

In India, this is very rarely talked about. New mothers are expected to feel happy and grateful, so women who feel the opposite often suffer in silence for months. Knowing your tendency means the people around you can watch for the signs early.

What this test checks

Poor · High risk

How your brain handles certain chemicals including dopamine. A particular variant means the brain holds onto these chemicals longer, which makes you more sensitive to pain and stress, especially during major hormonal changes like pregnancy.

Sample result (high-risk example): "Your genes suggest a higher sensitivity to stress during pregnancy. Eat well, avoid caffeine and processed foods, take rest seriously, and speak to your doctor early."

Signs to watch for

Anxiety or panic that feels hard to control during pregnancy
Not feeling hungry or interested in food
Sleep problems beyond normal newborn disruption
Feeling like you are not good enough as a mother
Pulling away from family and friends
Dark or distressing thoughts that will not go away
Feeling unable to bond with your baby

Bone weakness · AKAP11, LRP5, ZBTB40

Can genes tell me if my bones are at risk as I age?

Yes. Osteoporosis, where bones become fragile and break easily, is often called a silent condition because there are no symptoms until a bone actually fractures. Women lose bone density faster than men, especially after menopause when certain hormones drop. But your genes can tell you if you are at higher risk, decades before it becomes a problem.

India fact: India has some of the highest rates of bone weakness in Asia. Most Indian women are only checked after menopause, by which point significant bone loss has already happened. Knowing your risk in your 20s or 30s gives you time to change that.

What this test checks

Poor · High risk

AKAP11: active in bone tissue, influences bone density. LRP5: controls how the skeleton builds and maintains itself. ZBTB40: involved in how well minerals are deposited into bones.

Sample result (high-risk example): "Your genes suggest a higher risk of weakening bones. Eat foods rich in calcium and Vitamin D, do weight-bearing exercise regularly, and avoid smoking and alcohol."

Signs to watch for

No visible symptoms in the early stages, which is exactly why genetic testing matters
Receding gums
Weaker grip than before
Brittle nails that break easily
A bone fracture from a minor bump or fall
Gradual back or neck pain, or slowly getting shorter in height

Joint pain · HLA-DRB1

Can genes cause joint pain and swelling in women?

Yes. Rheumatoid Arthritis (RA) is a condition where the immune system mistakenly attacks the joints, causing pain, swelling, and stiffness. It affects women three times more than men, and in India, women are significantly more likely to put joint pain down to household work or getting older rather than getting it properly checked.

India fact: RA affects around 7 in 100 women, compared to around 2.5 in 100 men. Many women live with it undiagnosed for years because joint pain is so normalised. Knowing your tendency means you can act before joint damage becomes permanent.

What this test checks

Good · Low risk

A gene that plays a key role in how your immune system works. Certain versions of this gene are among the strongest known genetic signals for Rheumatoid Arthritis.

Sample result: "Your genes suggest a normal risk for Rheumatoid Arthritis. Eat a balanced diet and stay active."

Signs to watch for

Tender, warm, or swollen joints, especially fingers and wrists
Morning stiffness in joints that lasts more than 30 minutes
The same joints hurting on both sides of your body at once
Unusual tiredness, mild fever, or loss of appetite with joint pain
Weaker grip strength than usual

1 in 5 Indian women has PCOS.

Most spend years not knowing why their body behaves the way it does.

Your genes have had the answer the whole time.

Women’s health in India is under-tested and under-discussed. PCOS is discovered late. Bone loss is found after a fracture. Post-pregnancy depression is mistaken for exhaustion. RA is blamed on age. All five of these conditions have a genetic signal that can be read years before a problem forces the conversation. This test reads that signal.

Questions women ask before they test

Common questions.

Do I need to be planning a pregnancy to take this test?

No. This test is useful for any woman who wants to understand her hormonal health, fertility, bone strength, and joint health, whether you are planning a family now, later, or not at all. Many women take it simply as an early health check, before marriage, or to understand conditions like PCOS that affect them right now.

I already have PCOS. Is this test still useful for me?

Yes. Knowing your genetic profile helps you and your doctor understand the drivers behind your PCOS and the connected risks it carries, such as type 2 diabetes. It also covers four other areas, pregnancy, post-pregnancy depression, bone strength, and joint health, so you get a fuller picture of your genetic health, not just PCOS.

What does a Poor or High Risk result actually mean?

It means your genes are linked to a higher-than-average risk for that condition, not that you have it or definitely will. It is an early flag that lets you act sooner. Your report tells you exactly what to do, and your free counselling session explains it in plain language.

Can I take this test while I am pregnant?

Yes. The test only needs a saliva sample and is completely safe during pregnancy. Your genes do not change, so the results are valid whenever you take it. If you are already pregnant, the pregnancy and post-pregnancy results can help you and your doctor plan the months ahead.

Is this a medical or diagnostic test?

This is a wellness and risk-screening test, not a diagnostic one. It identifies genetic tendencies and predispositions. It does not diagnose any condition and is not a substitute for professional medical advice. Discuss results with a qualified doctor before making clinical decisions.

Do I need to fast or prepare before collecting my sample?

No. There is no fasting and no preparation. Just avoid eating, drinking, or smoking for about 30 minutes before you collect your sample. The instruction card inside the kit walks you through the simple steps.

Can my partner take the Men’s Health test at the same time?

Yes, and we recommend it for couples planning marriage or a family. The Women's + Men's Health combination is the core of our 'Know Before You Begin' bundle, one saliva kit each and a joint counselling session.

When does the kit arrive and when do I get my results?

Your kit is delivered in 2 to 3 days. Collection takes about 5 minutes at home. Once the lab receives your sample, your report is ready in 7 days and delivered digitally to your KYG account.

What if I have questions after reading my report?

Every report includes a free 30-minute GENEous Care session on WhatsApp. A trained genetic counsellor who has read your specific results explains each one and the exact steps to take. You can ask anything.
