Menopause testing is recommended for women who are experiencing symptoms that suggest they are approaching or have reached menopause, which is the cessation of menstrual periods. Symptoms of menopause may include hot flashes, night sweats, vaginal dryness, mood changes, and sleep disturbances. Menopause testing can help to confirm the diagnosis of menopause and rule out other underlying medical conditions that may cause similar symptoms.
Testing for menopause typically involves measuring the levels of follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH) and luteinizing hormone (LH) in a woman’s blood. These hormones are involved in the regulation of the menstrual cycle, and their levels increase as the ovaries begin to produce less estrogen during menopause. By measuring the levels of FSH and LH, healthcare providers can determine if a woman is in perimenopause (the transition to menopause), menopause, or postmenopause.
