Symptoms of Menopause

Menopause can present in many different ways, depending on the individual and the severity of the hormonal changes. Some common symptoms of menopause include:

  • Hot flashes or night sweats
  • Irregular or absent periods
  • Mood changes or depression
  • Vaginal dryness or discomfort during intercourse
  • Urinary incontinence or urgency
  • Reduced libido or sexual function

Causes of Menopause

Menopause is a natural biological process that occurs when the ovaries stop producing eggs and hormone production decreases. However, the underlying causes of menopause can be influenced by a variety of factors, including:

  • Nutritional deficiencies
  • Chronic stress and emotional trauma
  • Environmental toxins
  • Genetic predisposition
  • Medical conditions such as thyroid dysfunction or autoimmune disorders
  • Surgical removal of the ovaries or uterus

Treatments for Menopause

The treatment of menopause from a functional medicine perspective typically involves a combination of lifestyle changes, dietary modifications, and targeted supplements or medications. Some common treatments for menopause may include:

  • Stress reduction techniques such as meditation or yoga
  • Dietary changes such as increasing consumption of whole foods and reducing intake of processed foods
  • Nutritional supplementation with key nutrients such as calcium, vitamin D, and magnesium
  • Hormone replacement therapy or other targeted hormone supplementation to balance hormone levels
  • Reducing exposure to environmental toxins
  • Addressing underlying inflammation or infection through targeted supplementation or medication
  • Supporting sexual health and function through targeted supplements or medications

Rapid Test

Urine Tests

The Get Tested menopause test gives quick answers to elevated levels of the follicle-stimulating hormone FSH, which is a common sign of menopause or pre-menopause. Altered hormone levels in the female body regulate the menstrual cycle, and as the body produces less and less estrogen, the production of follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH) increases, which normally regulates the development of female eggs. Our rapid test is a urine sample, a so-called midstream test, which gives an answer within a few minutes. Includes 2 test strips.

The home test was straightforward with easy to follow instructions. The test result was detailed and clear in its presentation. Also had the opportunity to ask questions about the test result.

We looked at a lot of companies offering the same services but made the decision to go forward with get tested because the labs are based here in the UK. The process has been very straight forward.

There are other providers out there, I have tried 3. Gettested was the fastest and the customer service was the best. I even received my test on the day of purchase delivered by a motorbike courier.

I found them to be professional and not too long a wait for results. Helpful with any after questions. Will be using them again if need be. I highly recommend them.
