PRIMA Menopause FSH Test
MENOPAUSE & FSH
Menopause is a physiological event caused by a change in women’s hormonal balance. We talk abouy “menopause” when at least 12 consecutive months have elapsed in the absence of menstruation.
The irregularity of menstrual cycles can therefore be a first indicator of the onset of menopause, or rather of the so-called “perimenopause”. Menopause is the consequence of the depletion of ovarian follicles leading to increased levels of circulating follicle stimulating hormone (FSH). FSH concentrations increase in menopause from values below 20 mUI/mL to values up to approximately 80 mUI/mL.
WHO IS THIS TEST FOR?
MENOPAUSE FSH TEST is indicated for women who begin to experience symptoms related to menopause: lack of menstrual cycles, hot flashes, sleep irregularities and obvious mood changes.
The change in hormonal balance associated with the onset of menopause generally occurs around age 45, although the real signs appear around age 55.
