Simple menopause blood test to monitor hormone changes and predict menopause onset.

Additional Information

Perimenopause, the period leading up to menopause, can start in the mid-40s but varies. This test monitors key hormone fluctuations causing symptoms like headaches, irregular periods, hot flushes, and mood swings. It helps predict menopause (12 months without a period, average age 51). It's also useful for monitoring Hormone Replacement Therapy (HRT).

Biomarkers Tested (9)

Oestradiol (E2) (pg/mL)
Impacts acne, constipation, libido, depression, weight, PMS, period pain, and thyroid function. Low levels are seen in menopause, causing mood swings, vaginal dryness, hot flashes, night sweats, and osteoporosis.
Progesterone (P4) (ng/mL)
Crucial for the menstrual cycle, combats PMS and period pain, aids fertility, and promotes sleep.
Follicle-Stimulating Hormone (FSH) (mIU/mL)
Stimulates egg maturation; high levels indicate poor ovarian reserves.
Luteinizing Hormone (LH) (mIU/mL)
Governs the menstrual cycle, peaking before ovulation. High levels can signal lack of ovulation, menopause, or hormonal imbalance. A high LH/FSH ratio can indicate PCOS.
LH to FSH Ratio
Normally 1:1; higher ratios (e.g., 2:1 or 3:1) may indicate PCOS.
Dehydroepiandrosterone sulfate (DHEA-S) (µg/dL)
A long-acting adrenal hormone regulating energy production, the immune system, brain chemistry, bone formation, muscle tone, and libido. It's converted into testosterone and other sex hormones.
Testosterone (ng/dL)
Testosterone is crucial for male sexual development and function, also present in lower amounts in females. Abnormal levels can indicate reproductive or endocrine disorders.
Free Androgen Index (FAI)
Calculated ratio estimating the amount of active, unbound testosterone in the bloodstream.
SHBG (Sex Hormone-Binding Globulin) (nmol/L)
Protein that binds to testosterone, affecting its availability
