Menopause Test 2-pack

Menopause Test, Measures FSH

Discover if you are going through menopause with the help of our rapid test. The test measures the level of hormone FSH (Follicle-Stimulating Hormone), which increases in the body during menopause. By obtaining information on whether you are in perimenopause, you can take preventive measures against menopause-related health risks, such as osteoporosis, high blood pressure, high cholesterol levels, and an increased risk of heart disease.

About Menopause

For most women, the transition into menopause occurs around the age of 45-50. Menopause is a natural part of ageing and happens when the number of follicles in the ovaries begins to decrease, affecting oestrogen production. Menopause can vary in duration from one to more than ten years, and it signifies the end of menstruation. However, the diagnosis of menopause is typically confirmed one year after menstruation has ceased. The period leading up to menopause, which extends to the subsequent 12 months, is known as perimenopause. Many women experience symptoms such as hot flashes, irregular menstrual cycles, sleep disturbances, vaginal dryness, hair loss, anxiety, mood swings, short-term memory loss, and fatigue during this period.

Symptoms of Perimenopause

Many middle-aged women experience symptoms associated with menopause, but these symptoms can vary greatly from person to person. Common symptoms include mood swings and hot flushes. A common early indicator of approaching menopause is irregular menstruation, but it can be challenging to determine whether one has actually entered menopause or is still fertile. If you are experiencing bothersome symptoms due to decreased oestrogen production, such as menopause or transitional symptoms, there are medical treatments that can help.

Common symptoms include:

• Mood swings
• Sweating and hot flushes
• Sleep problems
• Depression
• Dry and brittle mucous membranes in the genital area
• Increased urination
• Genital discomfort (often caused by elevated vaginal pH due to decreased oestrogen production)

With our menopause test, you receive quick and reliable information about your hormonal profile, which can help you understand and manage the changes in your body during menopause and perimenopause.
