The menopause is when your periods stop due to a lowering in your hormone levels.
Being aware of the signs and symptoms to look out for can help determine whether or not you’re going through the menopause, but is there a test for the menopause that you can take which tells you this too? We spoke to hormone expert, Dr Martin Kinsella at“Menopause and peri-menopause are a natural part of the ageing process and are brought about by natural hormone changes that usually happen between the ages of 45 and 55," says Dr Kinsella.
“A blood test can identify these hormone changes and help to establish if you’re experiencing the peri-menopause or menopause or if something else is the cause."As Dr Kinsella mentions above, a blood test to identify the change in your hormones can help identify whether or not you're experiencing the menopause.
“A blood test will allow hormone levels to be assessed in order to establish if you are likely to be experiencing the menopause," he confirms. "This will allow a suitable tailor-made treatment plan to be prescribed. Typically during the menopause the body experiences a decrease in estrogen and progesterone which are produced by the ovaries. HRT and Bio-identical hormone replacement therapy can be extremely effective ways to address this hormone decline and reduce symptoms.
