What we test
A comprehensive hormone panel designed to assess menopause status by measuring key reproductive and thyroid hormones. This test helps distinguish natural menopause from other conditions that can cause similar symptoms, providing clarity for treatment decisions and health management during this important life transition.
FSH is produced by the pituitary gland and stimulates the ovaries to produce eggs and hormones.
During menopause, FSH levels rise significantly as the ovaries become less responsive to hormonal signals.
Elevated FSH levels are a key indicator of menopause, typically rising to 2-3 times normal levels.
LH works alongside FSH to regulate the menstrual cycle and ovulation.
Like FSH, LH levels increase during menopause as the body attempts to stimulate declining ovarian function.
Measuring both FSH and LH provides a more complete picture of menopausal hormone changes.
Oestradiol is the most potent form of estrogen, primarily produced by the ovaries.
During menopause, oestradiol levels decline significantly, leading to many menopausal symptoms.
Low oestradiol levels combined with high FSH/LH strongly indicate menopause and help guide treatment decisions.
While primarily thought of as a male hormone, testosterone is important for women's energy, mood, and sexual function.
Testosterone levels also decline during menopause, contributing to reduced libido, energy, and muscle mass.
Testing testosterone helps identify if symptoms are related to testosterone deficiency rather than just estrogen decline.
TSH regulates thyroid function and is included because thyroid disorders can mimic menopause symptoms.
Symptoms like fatigue, mood changes, and irregular periods can be caused by both menopause and thyroid problems.
Testing TSH helps distinguish between menopause and thyroid disorders for accurate diagnosis and treatment.
