What can our tests tell you about perimenopause and menopause?
Our test shows how your hormones are changing and whether that fits with perimenopause or menopause. The hormones we test are tailored to you, based on your answers to our online Health Assessment. Depending on your symptoms and history, we can test up to 10 hormones, including FSH, oestradiol and AMH, as well as thyroid hormones (TSH and FT4) and prolactin, which can cause very similar symptoms. Hormone levels can change from month to month during perimenopause, so a doctor always reviews your results alongside your symptoms, age and cycle history. You get a clear explanation of what's happening and what to do next, not just a set of numbers.
Why is testing an important part of perimenopause and menopause care?
Hormone testing plays a key role in getting the right diagnosis. How perimenopause is diagnosed depends on your age. Over 45, it's usually diagnosed from symptoms alone. Under 45, blood tests help confirm whether your symptoms are caused by perimenopause. Under 40, testing is essential to diagnose premature ovarian insufficiency (POI), which needs specialist care. Testing also makes sure nothing gets missed. Fatigue, low mood, brain fog, weight changes and irregular periods are often put down to perimenopause, but conditions like thyroid problems or raised prolactin can cause them too. Whatever your age, your results give you and your doctor a clear starting point, and a baseline to compare against as things change.
Why do menopausal women need to understand their hormone levels?
Your hormones affect much more than your periods. Oestrogen helps protect your bones, heart, brain, skin and vaginal and urinary health, so when levels fall during menopause, the effects can be felt throughout your body. Understanding your hormone levels helps you make sense of symptoms like hot flushes, poor sleep, low mood, joint pain or vaginal dryness. It also means you can make informed choices about your care, from HRT and non-hormonal treatments to protecting your long-term bone and heart health. And if your results show something else is affecting how you feel, it can be picked up and treated.
Why are perimenopause symptoms often missed?
Perimenopause symptoms are often missed because so many of them don't seem hormonal. Anxiety, poor sleep, joint pain, heavier periods and difficulty concentrating can start in your early forties, sometimes earlier, often while your periods still seem regular. It's easy to blame work, family life or getting older. Psychological symptoms can be treated as depression or anxiety without anyone looking at the hormonal side. And a short appointment rarely leaves time to connect symptoms that seem unrelated. Many women also don't know perimenopause can start years before their periods stop.
What can our Menopause Specialists do?
Our menopause specialists give you 45 minutes of dedicated time, compared with a typical 10-minute GP appointment. That's time to talk through every symptom, go through your hormone results properly and ask the questions you've been holding on to. Your specialist will explain what's happening in your body and take you through your options, from HRT to non-hormonal treatments and lifestyle support, with clear information on the benefits and risks for you. You'll leave with a plan built entirely around your body, your health history and what matters most to you.
