Ordering the Menopause Plus | Europe
Ordering the Menopause Plus | Europe lab test helps check hormone levels that can affect symptoms like hot flashes, night sweats, mood changes, and weight gain. This test measures estrogen, progesterone, testosterone, adrenal stress, melatonin, and how your body breaks down estrogen. Interestingly, hormone changes during menopause can also impact memory and thinking skills, not just physical symptoms.
When ordering, you get a clear picture of your hormone balance and how it may be affecting your body and mind:
- Shows if estrogen or progesterone levels are too high or too low
- Checks for hormone patterns linked to sleep problems or fatigue
- Reveals if stress hormones like cortisol are out of balance
- Helps explain changes in skin, hair, or weight
- Gives details about how your body processes estrogen, which can affect bone and heart health
Who Should Consider Hormone and Menopause Testing
People who notice changes like trouble sleeping, mood swings, or sudden weight gain may want to check their hormone levels. For example, someone who feels tired all day, has trouble remembering things, and wakes up sweating at night could benefit from knowing if their hormones are out of balance.
Ordering may also be helpful in these situations:
- Someone with new or worsening joint pain and stiffness
- People who have lost interest in sex or feel more irritable than usual
- Anyone with frequent headaches or migraines that seem to follow a pattern
- Those who notice thinning hair or changes in skin texture
- Someone who has started to feel anxious or down without a clear reason, especially if they also have hot flashes
Checking these hormone levels can help explain symptoms and guide next steps, such as adjusting diet, exercise, or talking with a doctor about treatment options. Delaying this test could mean missing the chance to address symptoms early, which may make them harder to manage later.
Preparing for Hormone and Menopause Lab Testing
Fasting is not needed for this test, but always check the test kit instructions for any special steps before collecting your sample. Make sure to follow whatever guidance your doctor or healthcare practitioner gives you, as this can help ensure your results are as useful as possible.
