Description
Menopause Blood Test
Hormonal changes during this time can cause a wide variety of symptoms. Many people experience hot flashes, night sweats, and irregular periods. Others notice low mood, anxiety, or increased irritability, while some struggle with sleep, experience brain fog, or feel persistently tired. Physical symptoms like vaginal dryness, joint or muscle aches, headaches, and changes in libido are also common. Weight gain, changes in body shape, or forgetfulness can add to the frustration — especially when it’s unclear whether hormones are the cause.
That’s where a menopause blood test becomes so valuable. It can help confirm whether these symptoms are due to hormonal shifts, particularly if your menstrual cycle is irregular or if you’ve had a hysterectomy and can’t rely on period changes as a guide. Many people spend months or even years wondering what’s happening with their body — this test helps provide clarity so you can take action with confidence.
The process is straightforward. A blood sample is taken at one of our clinics or by a nurse who can visit your home or workplace. Your sample is then sent to a certified laboratory, and within a few days, you’ll receive the results. Whether you’re considering HRT, looking for reassurance, or just want to understand your body better, the results offer valuable insight.
If you’re unsure whether your symptoms are part of the menopause transition, this test can help confirm it. Early testing can make it easier to manage symptoms and prepare for what’s ahead — so you don’t have to wait until things feel unmanageable.
