When to test
When to test
When to test:
The menopause test should be performed between the 3rd and 5th day of each menstrual cycle.
The sample must be collected in the morning, before 11:30 am on Monday to Thursday, and returned on the same day on selected pick-up points or by arranging a home collection until 12:00 am.
Menopause is the permanent end of menstruation. The last menstruation before Menopause, and the 12 months following, is known as perimenopause. Lots of Women experience symptoms during this period, including hot flushes, irregular menstrual cycles, sleep disorders, vaginal dryness, loss of hair, anxiety, mood changes, short-term memory loss and fatigue.
The onset of perimenopause is caused by changes in the levels of hormones in the female body that regulate the menstrual cycle. As the body produces less and less estrogen, the production of follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH) increases, which normally regulates the development of a woman's eggs.
Therefore, testing FSH can help determine whether a woman is in the perimenopausal stage. If a woman knows she is in perimenopause, she can take appropriate steps to keep her body healthy and avoid the health risks associated with menopause, which include osteoporosis, increased blood pressure, cholesterol, and an increased risk of heart disease.
Who should take the test?
This test is intended for women who suspect the onset of menopause and want confirmation. This change can begin from the age of 45, but the real signs are observed around the age of 55.
Tested parameters
FSH - Follicle stimulating hormone
The pituitary gland in the brain produces a hormone called Follicle stimulating hormone (FSH) that plays a vital role in the development and maturation of ovarian follicles, ovulation, and the menstrual cycle. As we age, basal FSH levels tend to increase due to a decrease in ovarian reserve, and this increase may be indicative of approaching menopause.
