Rapid Test
Urine Tests
Discover quickly if you are in menopause or perimenopause with the help of our menopause test. It provides rapid answers by measuring the level of Follicle-Stimulating Hormone (FSH), which is a common indicator of these transitional phases in a woman’s life. Hormonal changes in the body regulate the menstrual cycle, and when estrogen production decreases, the body starts increasing the production of FSH, which normally governs the development of eggs in women.
If you want to assess additional female hormones, we recommend to combine the Menopause test with our Estrogen & Progesterone test.
