Menopause Self-Test

Menopause is an easy to use self-test for the detection of follicle stimulating hormone (FSH) in urine, a hormone marker common with perimenopause (the period leading up to menopause) when in elevated levels.

Confirming the presence of FSH following missed periods and alongside the common signs of menopause allows women to seek medical advice and potential treatments, such as Hormone replacement therapy (HRT).

Testing for FSH can help women know whether they are in the perimenopause stage and therefore take personal steps and get professional help to avoid menopause health risks. Some menopause symptoms can be the same as other conditions and it’s important to confirm why you are experiencing symptoms. See the list of commons symptoms below.

Hormones can change over time it is recommended to perform two tests weeks apart and over several months.

Consult a doctor if you get a positive result, have menopause symptoms or have any concerns or questions about the menopause or perimenopause.

This menopause test is manufactured under internationally recognised quality management systems and conforms with acceptable performance standards.

The menopause is the point at which a woman stops having periods and is no longer able to have a child.

The menopause generally occurs between 45 and 55 years of age, as a woman’s oestrogen levels decline. But the NHS state a small number of women experience the menopause before 40.

Some of menopause symptoms are associated with other conditions such as Hypothyroidism. Therefore, confirming the presence of the follicle stimulating hormone helps women to understand whether they are experience the menopause or another condition.

In a UK documentary, TV star Davina McCall highlighted her experience where she believed she was developing early onset dementia, due to memory loss and brain fog, rather than going through perimenopause leading up to the onset of menopause.
