What is a Menopause Hormone Profile?
This measures key hormones that provide valuable information about menopause, including FSH, LH, Oestradiol and TSH.
It can also assist in monitoring hormone replacement therapy, addressing menstrual issues, and other hormone-related concerns. Additionally, it helps identify the hormonal changes typically associated with the onset of menopause.
FSH (Follicle-Stimulating Hormone): A hormone that regulates the menstrual cycle and stimulates the growth of eggs in the ovaries for women, and sperm production in men.
LH (Luteinizing Hormone): Works alongside FSH to regulate reproductive processes, triggering ovulation in women and testosterone production in men.
Oestradiol: A form of oestrogen that plays a key role in the regulation of the menstrual cycle, development of female secondary sexual characteristics, and overall reproductive health.
TSH (Thyroid Stimulating Hormone): Produced by the pituitary gland, TSH regulates the thyroid gland's production of thyroid hormones, which are crucial for metabolism, energy regulation, and growth.
