Menopause Hormones Profile Test

About the Essentials Female Menopause Blood Test

The Essentials Female Menopause Blood Test is a home testing solution that allows you to check key hormone levels related to menopause privately and conveniently. Using a small blood sample collected via finger-prick at home or through a professional phlebotomy service, this test provides accurate laboratory analysis of LH, FSH, oestradiol (17-beta), TSH, and FT4. Results are reviewed by healthcare professionals and give detailed insights into your hormonal status without the need for multiple clinic visits.

What Is the Essentials Female Menopause Blood Test Used For?

This test is designed to investigate symptoms linked to hormonal changes in women. Common reasons for taking the test include:

• Irregular or heavier periods
• Hot flushes and night sweats
• Mood changes, anxiety, or low mood
• Sleep disturbances and fatigue
• Reduced sex drive and vaginal dryness
• Muscle aches, joint pain, headaches, or palpitations
• Suspected thyroid issues that can mimic menopause symptoms

What Does the Essentials Female Menopause Blood Test Measure?

The test measures key hormones involved in reproductive and thyroid function:

• Luteinising Hormone (LH) – regulates the menstrual cycle
• Follicle Stimulating Hormone (FSH) – rises as ovarian function decreases
• Oestradiol (17-Beta) – the primary form of oestrogen that declines during menopause
• Thyroid Stimulating Hormone (TSH) – screens for thyroid disorders that may mimic menopause symptoms
• Free Thyroxine (FT4) – works alongside TSH to help evaluate how well the thyroid gland is functioning

The test uses precise laboratory analysis to measure hormone levels from a small blood sample collected at home or in a clinic. Results include:

• Hormone levels compared to normal menopausal ranges
• Insight into whether symptoms are likely linked to menopause

This allows women to understand their hormonal profile without repeated clinic visits.
