Menopause test - Blood analysis & consultation with specialist
Do you experience hot flashes, sleep disturbances or mood swings but don't really understand why? Menopause is a natural but challenging phase in life, where the hormonal balance changes and can cause a number of problems. For this reason, we offer Menopause test Plus, which is designed for those who want to gain a better understanding of your hormone levels and how they affect your well-being. The health check includes analysis of relevant hormones that regulate the body's balance during menopause, including FSH, LH, oestradiol, progesterone, prolactin TSH and your red blood cells.
In addition to sampling and analysis, an individual consultation with the doctor with specialist duties in gynecology Elenor Ängek is included. She will help you interpret your test results and relate them to the symptoms you may be experiencing. Together you will go through possible causes behind your symptoms and discuss which measures can help you feel better – whether it is lifestyle changes, natural treatments or hormonal treatment alternatives. The consultation is carried out digitally via a video meeting or phone call, you choose.
The menopause test not only gives you answers to your hormonal balance but also guidance and support so that you can take control of your hormonal health.
Menopause is a natural part of aging, but the hormonal changes that occur during this period can affect both the body and the psyche in different ways. How you experience menopause is individual – some women barely notice it, while others experience severe symptoms that affect everyday life. Many symptoms occur gradually and can vary in intensity over time. They are mainly caused by changing levels of estrogen and progesterone, but other hormonal imbalances can also play a role.
By analyzing your hormone levels, we can better understand what is causing your symptoms and how you can best manage them.
During menopause, the body's hormone production changes, which can cause both symptoms and discomfort. By analyzing your levels of the following hormones, we get a clearer picture of your hormonal balance and where you are in the menopause.
As the function of the ovaries declines, FSH levels increase in an attempt to stimulate ovulation. Elevated FSH levels may be an indication that menopause is approaching or has already occurred.
LH is involved in the ovulation process. When the hormonal balance changes during menopause, LH levels rise and often remain high after menopause.
Estradiol plays a central role in the female body, but its levels drop significantly during menopause. Low levels of estradiol can contribute to symptoms such as hot flashes, sleep disturbances, dry mucous membranes, and mood swings.
Progesterone balances the effects of estrogen and usually drops earlier than estradiol during menopause. Low progesterone levels can lead to sleep problems, anxiety, and irregular bleeding during the transition phase.
Prolactin is primarily known for its role in milk production after pregnancy, but it also affects the menstrual cycle and hormone balance. Elevated prolactin levels can inhibit ovulation and lead to irregular periods, which can make it difficult to interpret menopause symptoms.
Thyroid hormones affect metabolism and energy levels. Since symptoms of thyroid disorders can be similar to those of menopause, such as fatigue, mood swings, and heat intolerance, TSH is analyzed to rule out an underlying thyroid disorder.
During menopause, your blood values may also change, especially if your periods are still irregular or heavy. By analyzing your blood status, including hemoglobin and red blood cells, we can identify possible anemia (anemia), which can cause fatigue and dizziness - symptoms that can also be confused with menopause effects.
After your samples have been analyzed, you will schedule a consultation with a doctor. You choose whether you want a digital video meeting or a telephone follow-up, the meeting time is estimated to be approximately 25 minutes.
You will receive safe and personalized advice to understand and manage menopause in the best way.
The test can be taken at any time during your cycle, provided that you still have a regular menstrual cycle. The most important thing before the consultation is that you indicate approximately when the test was taken in relation to your current cycle.
The test results help the doctor understand where you are in the menopause and provide a basis for any further measures. If the test results show hormonal changes that may affect your well-being, you can discuss possible next steps with our specialist doctor, including lifestyle changes or medical treatments.
