What's included
Comprehensive Menopausal Profile in London for hormonal and nutritional health. Price includes phlebotomy.
Full Blood Count (FBC)
- Checks your red blood cells, white blood cells, and platelets to assess overall health. It helps detect anaemia, infection, or signs of inflammation that may cause fatigue or weakness during menopause.
Thyroid Stimulating Hormone (TSH)
- Measures how well your thyroid gland is working. Thyroid problems can cause symptoms similar to menopause, such as tiredness, mood changes, or weight fluctuations.
Luteinising Hormone (LH)
- Helps control the reproductive system. In menopause, LH levels usually rise as the ovaries produce less oestrogen.
Follicle-Stimulating Hormone (FSH)
- Works with LH to regulate the menstrual cycle and egg production. High FSH levels are a key sign that menopause has started or is approaching.
Oestradiol (Estrogen)
- The main female hormone that controls the menstrual cycle. Low oestradiol levels confirm reduced ovarian activity and are common in menopause.
Vitamin B12
- Essential for nerve health, energy, and red blood cell production. Low B12 can cause fatigue, weakness, and mood changes, which may overlap with menopausal symptoms.
Iron
- Measures iron levels to check for anaemia, which can cause tiredness and low energy. This is important since heavy or irregular periods before menopause can sometimes lower iron stores.
Suitable for Women wanting to assess hormonal and nutritional factors during menopause.
