What’s Tested
Post-menopause blood Panel evaluate hormone levels, bone density, and overall health in women after menopause. They include assessments of estradiol and FSH levels to confirm menopausal status and hormonal balance. Bone density tests assess osteoporosis risk, while other tests monitor metabolic health, lipid profile, thyroid function, and overall health status. These tests aid in early detection of abnormalities and help guide preventive measures and treatments for conditions like osteoporosis and cardiovascular disease.
In post-menopausal women, blood tests commonly focus on assessing two key hormones: follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH) and estradiol. FSH levels typically rise as ovarian function declines, while estradiol levels significantly decrease.
What’s beaing tested:
Follicle-Stimulating Hormone (FSH): FSH is a hormone produced by the pituitary gland that regulates the growth and development of ovarian follicles in women. In post-menopausal women, FSH levels typically rise as the ovaries become less responsive to hormonal signals, indicating a decrease in ovarian function and estrogen production.
Estradiol: Estradiol is a type of estrogen hormone primarily produced by the ovaries in women. In post-menopausal women, estradiol levels significantly decrease as ovarian function declines. Monitoring estradiol levels helps confirm menopausal status and assesses hormonal balance. Low estradiol levels are characteristic of post-menopause and may contribute to symptoms such as hot flashes, vaginal dryness, and bone loss.
Monitoring these hormones helps confirm menopausal status and assess hormonal balance. High FSH and low estradiol levels are characteristic of post-menopause and may contribute to symptoms such as hot flashes and bone loss.
