Menopause is a natural biological process marking the end of a woman’s menstrual cycles and reproductive years, typically occurring in their late 40s to early 50s. It is characterised by the cessation of menstruation for 12 consecutive months and is often accompanied by symptoms like hot flashes, night sweats, mood changes, and sleep disturbances.<\/p>\n
This menopause blood test is conducted to measure hormone levels, such as Oestradiol and follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH), to confirm the onset of menopause or to rule out other conditions that might mimic menopausal symptoms. This helps in managing symptoms and planning appropriate treatments or lifestyle adjustments.<\/p>\n
