Menopause Blood Test

🌸 Menopause Blood Test at Prescriptions Pharmacy

Private Menopause Blood Test in Prescot – £80

💉 This blood test checks key reproductive hormones and thyroid markers that may be useful when assessing possible perimenopause or menopause-related symptoms.

🧬 What Does This Test Check?

This panel includes:

🧪 LH

🧪 FSH

🧪 Oestradiol (17-beta)

🧪 TSH

🧪 Free T4

👩‍⚕️ Who May This Test Be Suitable For?

This test may be suitable if you are experiencing symptoms such as:

🌡️ Hot flushes or night sweats

📅 Irregular, lighter or changing periods

😴 Sleep disturbance or tiredness

🧠 Brain fog or difficulty concentrating

💬 Mood changes or irritability

🦋 Symptoms that may overlap with thyroid changes

📌 Menopause and perimenopause are usually assessed based on age, symptoms and clinical history. Blood tests can be helpful in some situations but are not always needed.

⚡ Why Are These Markers Important?

🌸 FSH and LH are reproductive hormones that can change as ovarian hormone activity reduces.

🌺 Oestradiol is a key form of oestrogen and may reduce during the menopausal transition.

🦋 TSH and Free T4 check thyroid function, as thyroid-related symptoms can sometimes overlap with menopause symptoms such as tiredness, mood changes and weight changes.

🔍 How Is This Different from the Essential Female Hormones Test?

The Menopause Blood Test is a more focused panel designed around common menopause and perimenopause markers.

Menopause Blood Test focuses on:

🌸 FSH, LH and Oestradiol

🦋 Thyroid screening with TSH and Free T4

Essential Female Hormones Blood Test is broader and also includes:

💪 Testosterone and Free Testosterone

🧪 SHBG and Albumin

📊 Prolactin

🦋 Free T3 as part of a wider thyroid profile

💡 If your main concern is menopause-related symptoms, this focused test may be suitable. If you want a broader hormone overview, you may wish to consider the Essential Female Hormones Blood Test.
