The onset of perimenopause is caused by changes in the levels of hormones in the female body that regulate the menstrual cycle.
As the body produces less and less oestrogen, it increases its production of Follicle-Stimulating Hormone (FSH), which normally regulates the development of a woman’s eggs. Therefore, testing for FSH can help determine whether a woman is in the perimenopause stage. If a woman knows she is perimenopausal, she can take the appropriate action to avoid the health risks associated with menopause, which include osteoporosis, increased blood pressure and cholesterol, and an increased risk of heart disease.
Women are now able to test themselves for FSH levels at home and in their own time.
With a home menopause test, you will now be the first to know your own menopause test result.
