DESCRIPTION:
Menopause happens to every woman at some point in her life. To know for sure if you’re experiencing this natural bodily change, get a Menopause Screening Panel from ANY LAB TEST NOW®.
During menopause, the ovaries stop producing the right amount of hormones to produce eggs. This means, your periods stop and you can’t get pregnant anymore.
There are a number of blood tests in this panel to help determine if you are going through menopause.
The Follicular Stimulating Hormone (FSH) indicates levels that determine if you’re approaching or have gone through menopause, while Estradiol ‐ measures the ovarian production of estrogen and shows if your menstrual cycle is normal. Others tests include the TSH (tests your thyroid function), Lipids, Complete Blood Count and a Chemistry Panel with 16 essential tests.
WHY DO I NEED IT?
