FSH (Menopause) Blood Test
Experiencing changes in your menstrual cycle, hot flushes or other symptoms associated with menopause? An FSH (Follicle-Stimulating Hormone) Blood Test measures the level of FSH in your blood, providing useful information about hormonal changes that may be associated with menopause.
What is an FSH Blood Test?
FSH is a hormone released by the pituitary gland that helps regulate the menstrual cycle and stimulates the ovaries. During menopause, as ovarian function declines, FSH levels typically rise. Measuring FSH in your blood can give helpful insight into whether you may be entering or are in menopause.
What does the test involve?
-
A quick and minimally invasive venous blood draw blood test .
-
No special preparation is usually needed.
-
Results are provided within 15 minutes for timely understanding.
-
Your small blood sample is tested to measure FSH hormone levels.
Why is the Test Important?
FSH testing can provide useful information about hormone levels that may be relevant when investigating menstrual changes or possible menopause. Results may also form part of a wider clinical assessment where early menopause, premature ovarian insufficiency or fertility concerns are being investigated.
For women aged 45 or over with typical menopausal symptoms, menopause is often identified based on symptoms rather than blood testing alone. If you have persistent symptoms, fertility concerns or an unexpected FSH result, we recommend discussing these with your GP or another appropriate healthcare professional.

You might benefit from an FSH test if you experience:
-
Changes in menstrual cycle or missed periods.

Hot flushes or night sweats.
-
Mood swings, irritability, or sleep disturbances.

If you have fertility concerns, persistent symptoms or significant changes to your menstrual cycle, seek appropriate medical advice rather than relying on a standalone FSH result.
