MENO — Menopausal Profile

Description

A COMPLETE SET OF TESTS THAT CHECK: • Follicle-Stimulating Hormone (FSH) — level of pituitary signal to ovaries • Luteinising Hormone (LH) — triggers ovarian hormone production and ovulation • Oestradiol-17-Beta (estradiol) — primary circulating estrogen in reproductive years • Free T4 — unbound thyroxine hormone available for tissues • TSH — thyroid-stimulating hormone that regulates thyroid function WHAT THIS TEST SUITE REVEALS: • Whether ovarian hormone production is declining (as in menopause or perimenopause) • If estradiol levels are low, confirming reduction in estrogen output by ovaries • Whether FSH and LH are elevated — typical in ovarian failure / menopause stage • Thyroid status (via TSH and free T4) — since thyroid dysfunction can mimic menopausal symptoms • The interaction between reproductive hormonal decline and thyroid function, useful for differential diagnosis of symptoms like hot flashes, fatigue, mood changes • Helps clinician distinguish menopause vs thyroid disorder vs mixed causes and guide management strategies
