As women age, their bodies undergo a transition known as menopause where fertility and menstrual cycles end, and production of hormones such as oestrogen and progesterone decline.

Approximately 13 million women in the UK are either currently going through or have reached menopause, yet many struggle with its effects due to hormonal imbalances that can vary a lot between individuals. There is no one-size-fits-all way to manage these changes.

The Menopause Profile test provides you with a comprehensive understanding of your own personal hormone levels, empowering you to better understand the changes in your body and take personalised action.

This panel measures crucial hormones including FSH, LH, and Oestradiol (17-Beta), which can fluctuate significantly during menopause, causing symptoms such as hot flashes, mood disturbances, and sleep problems. Additionally, it assesses TSH and FT4 to detect any thyroid irregularities, as menopause can often mask or exacerbate thyroid issues.

Understanding and monitoring your own personal hormonal profile can provide invaluable insights into your health during menopause, helping to manage symptoms and mitigate potential risks such as osteoporosis or cardiovascular disease.

With this knowledge, you can collaborate with healthcare practitioners to personalise lifestyle, nutrition, and treatment strategies, promoting a smoother transition through menopause and enhancing your overall health, well-being and quality of life.

Markers Included In The Test

Free T4 (FT4): Free T4 (FT4) is a test that measures the level of free thyroxine, a key hormone produced by the thyroid gland. High levels can indicate an overactive thyroid gland (hyperthyroidism), which can cause symptoms such as rapid heart rate, weight loss, and anxiety, while low levels may suggest an underactive thyroid (hypothyroidism), leading to fatigue, weight gain, and depression.

FSH: Follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH) is produced by the pituitary gland and plays a key role in reproductive health. In women, it stimulates the growth of ovarian follicles and regulates the menstrual cycle, while in men, it aids in sperm production. Abnormal levels of FSH can signal reproductive issues such as infertility, polycystic ovary syndrome in women, and impaired sperm production in men.

Luteinizing Hormone (LH): Luteinizing Hormone (LH) is a hormone produced by the pituitary gland and plays a key role in regulating the reproductive system. In women, high levels can indicate polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) or menopause, while in men, it stimulates the production of testosterone and can signal issues with the testes if levels are abnormal.

Oestradiol (E2): Oestradiol (E2), a form of oestrogen, is the primary female sex hormone, but is also important for men's health. In women, it regulates the menstrual cycle and impacts bone health, mood, and heart health. High levels can lead to symptoms such as bloating, breast tenderness, and mood swings, while low levels can cause symptoms like fatigue, depression, and hot flashes. In men, it supports brain function, bone health, and sexual function. Therefore, an imbalance can lead to sexual dysfunction, osteoporosis, or cardiovascular issues.

TSH: Thyroid-stimulating hormone (TSH) is a hormone produced by the pituitary gland to regulate the production of thyroid hormones, which control the body's metabolism. Abnormal TSH levels can indicate thyroid disorders. High levels may suggest an underactive thyroid (hypothyroidism) and low levels an overactive thyroid (hyperthyroidism). Both conditions can cause a wide range of symptoms including fatigue, weight changes, and mood disturbances.
