Menopause Diagnosis: Is There a Menopause Blood Test

Is there a test for the menopause?

Most women will not require a blood test to diagnose the perimenopause or menopause. For most, the menopause diagnosis will be based on your symptoms, your age and your period history.

Blood tests can be helpful in younger women where the perimenopause is questioned, and of course some blood tests can be helpful to look at in order to gauge a picture of your overall health. These tests can be discussed with your doctor.
