SHARE YOUR HEALTH JOURNEY

Navigating the transition of menopause is pivotal for your health and well-being. As a natural phase of ageing, menopause brings significant hormonal changes, impacting various aspects of life. The Menopause Blood Test provides essential insights into these hormonal shifts, including key markers like FSH, LH, and oestradiol.

This test is invaluable in understanding menopause-related symptoms such as mood swings, hot flashes, and sleep disturbances. With prompt and precise results, it empowers you and your healthcare provider to make informed decisions about managing menopausal health. Embrace this transformative stage with clarity and confidence, supported by the insights from the Menopause Blood Test.

About the Menopause Blood Test

The Menopause Blood Test is an effective tool for evaluating your status during the menopausal transition. This test primarily focuses on measuring key hormones: Follicle Stimulating Hormone (FSH), Luteinising Hormone (LH), and Oestradiol (a form of oestrogen). These hormones are pivotal in understanding where you may stand in the menopausal spectrum, whether perimenopausal, during menopause, or postmenopausal.

The Menopause Test also includes an assessment of thyroid function. This is crucial, as thyroid imbalances can often present symptoms similar to those of menopause, such as mood fluctuations and temperature regulation issues.

It’s important to note that while blood tests offer valuable insights, they are part of a larger picture in diagnosing menopause. The complete assessment involves considering your symptoms — like changes in the menstrual cycle, hot flashes, and mood alterations — alongside your age and these hormone levels. We strongly recommend discussing your test results with your healthcare provider to gain a comprehensive understanding and appropriate guidance tailored to your individual health needs.

DOCTOR'S COMMENTS

Hi, I am Dr. Adam Staten and here's my view on this test as a GP and Clinical Director at One Day Tests.

Menopausal symptoms can vary widely, with some women experiencing classic signs like hot flashes and mood swings, while others may have subtler or atypical symptoms. This diversity in experiences can often make it difficult to identify menopause based solely on symptoms.

This is where blood tests become invaluable. By measuring specific hormone levels, these tests provide a more concrete basis for assessing menopausal status, complementing the subjective understanding of symptoms. They are particularly helpful for those with less typical signs of menopause, enabling a more accurate and complete evaluation of this significant life transition.

Red flag symptoms for the Menopause Blood Test

Even if your blood tests are normal, you should see a doctor if you have any of the symptoms below because they may be a sign of serious underlying illness. 

  • Unexplained weight loss
  • Drenching sweats during the night
  • Persistent fevers
  • Progressively severe symptoms of any kind

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

Hi, I am Lana Nela, Lead Nurse, and here is what we are frequently asked about this test.

Are hormonal markers 100% reliable in diagnosing menopause?

Hormone levels, particularly oestrogen and follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH), play a central role in diagnosing menopause. However, these levels can fluctuate daily and may not provide a consistent diagnostic marker.

What is perimenopause?

The transition to menopause, known as perimenopause, can last for several years before a woman reaches menopause.

During this time, hormone levels can fluctuate, leading to irregular menstrual cycles and symptoms that can mimic those of menopause. It can be challenging to distinguish between perimenopause and other gynaecological conditions.

Is menopause unavoidable?

Menopause is a natural part of the ageing process, and the timing of menopause can vary significantly from one woman to another.

It is a natural and complex process and having blood tests to back up any clinical diagnosis and to educate you with an explanation of the symptoms is essential.
