MenoQUICK Menopause Test (Pack of 2)

MenoQuick home menopause test will let you know if you’ve started the menopause in only 5 minutes

The menopause is something that all women go through, usually starting between the ages of 45 and 55 as levels of the hormone oestrogen decline. The average age for the start of the menopause is 51 but it can be difficult to tell when it’s started for you as so many of the symptoms can be linked to other hormonal or health issues. If you are experiencing any of the following you may be menopausal:

• Hot flushes
• Irregular periods
• Night sweats
• Vaginal dryness
• Anxiety
• Depression
• Insomnia
• Reduced sex drive
• Memory and concentration problems

The symptoms can start years before your periods stop so that is not a reliable indicator of whether it’s the menopause. There are a lot of ways that your doctor can help relieve menopausal symptoms so it’s a good idea to find out as soon as possible if you have begun the menopause. This is easier said than done when appointments are so hard to come by – you can save yourself a lot of time and hassle by checking at home with this FSH test kit!

What is FSH?

FSH stands for Follicle Stimulating Hormone. This is a hormone produced by your pituitary gland that stimulates your ovaries to produce eggs. As your ovaries stop making eggs, the level of FSH in your body decreases – this makes it a reliable indicator of whether you are entering the menopause. Once you know whether your FSH levels are suggestive of the menopause you can have a much better understanding of what’s causing your symptoms and discomfort.
