Order your Home Menopause Test to gain a rapid indication of your Follicle-Stimulating hormone (FSH) in urine, aiding the early detection of menopause. It can also be used to screen for Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome (PCOS) and ovarian failure in non-perimenopausal women with persistently elevated levels of FSH.

Currently, menopause is not scientifically diagnosed until a woman’s menstrual periods have stopped for one full year. However, the varying period of time leading up to menopause is called perimenopause which can include a variety of problematic symptoms and related health issues.

The female hormones that regulate the menstrual cycle can change, as the body produces less oestrogen and produces more FSH during the perimenopausal stage. Detecting this early means that you can take appropriate steps to keep your body healthy and prevent health risks associated with menopause, which include osteoporosis, high cholesterol and blood pressure, and an increased risk of heart disease.

How best to handle your health now you’re in your menopause.

Menopause generally happens to women when they’ve aged to their late forties and early fifties; it is a natural process and an individual experience.

80% of women will have hot flashes for two years, with other symptoms that include:

Anxiety.
Erratic mood changes.
Changes in skin conditions.
Insomnia.
Discomfort during sex.

Not every woman will experience all of these symptoms at the same time, to the same severity, and some may experience none at all.

To know if you’re experiencing menopause can be difficult to determine and is highly personal. If you want to understand your health and your changing body in the privacy of your own home, then the menopause test is there for you.

How can a Menopause Rapid Test help me?

Many of the symptoms of menopause can be confused with mental health illnesses, cases of flu, and some chronic illnesses. However, a menopause test will check your urine to assess your follicle-stimulating hormone levels (FSH); as low FSH levels will indicate the menopause stage.

If you want answers quick and determined then order a menopause check test.

This rapid one-step lateral flow immunoassay test uses 2 midstream strips to detect the level of FSH in urine above 25mIU/mL for self-testing and is mailed directly to you.

The easy-to-use CE-approved testing kit is mailed immediately on purchase and should reach you within 1-3 business days.

In the box, there will be full instructions provided on how to complete the sample, when best to perform the test and the results in just 3 minutes.

Elevated FSH levels will show as a positive test result on the midstream test and indicate a perimenopause or menopause stage.

The test provides 2 sets of results and the results can then be used to consult for further medical advice or to implement an appropriate health regime.

Note: You will require a method of timing the process.

Receive your testing kit in the post.

Place absorbent wand in urine mid-stream or use a collection container.

Cover the cap on the wand and time.

Read the results of the test. Repeat at the recommended interval.

Oestrogen is an important sex hormone that regulates the growth, development, and physiology of the human reproductive system. In addition, oestrogen also influences neuroendocrine, skeletal, adipose, and cardiovascular systems. Oestrogen is produced primarily by the ovaries in females and testes in males.

Oestrogen levels decrease with age, and to counterbalance this, the female body produces higher levels of FSH in an attempt to stimulate the ovaries to produce a healthy egg. An elevated FSH level in midstream urine can help you detect early perimenopause, menopause, and even PCOS or ovarian failure in some cases.

Persistently high levels of FSH can also indicate PCOS or premature ovarian failure however a diagnosis should not be based on the results of one single test and further medical investigation should be sought.

Our home testing kit has been validated against industry standards with a 100% overall accuracy when compared to other urine FSH tests.

Results do not substantiate a medical diagnosis on their own but may be used by your doctor to help form a diagnosis or request a secondary analytical test.
It is possible that technical or procedural errors or other interfering substances in the urine specimen may cause erroneous results.

Follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH) is produced by your pituitary gland, which is a small gland located underneath the brain. FSH is a glycoprotein gonadotropin and is secreted in response to gonadotropin-releasing hormone (GnRH) released by the hypothalamus.

The hypothalamus is a small but crucial part of the brain that maintains internal balance by regulating processes in the human body.

FSH is an important sex hormone in sexual development and various functions including:

In women, it aids in controlling the menstrual cycle and stimulates the growth of healthy eggs in the ovaries. These FSH levels change throughout the menstrual cycle, with the highest levels produced just prior to an egg being released by the ovary (ovulation stage).
In men, this hormone helps control the production of sperm and normally, FSH levels do not vary.
In children, FSH levels are low until puberty, when levels begin to rise. For girls, it prompts the ovaries to produce oestrogen. In boys, it initiates the testes to make testosterone.

An increase or decrease in FSH levels can cause a variety of problems, including infertility, abnormal menstrual cycles in women, low sex drive in men, and disruptions to puberty in children.

FSH functions in association with another hormone called lutinising hormone (LH) to control sexual functions. Therefore a lutinising hormone (LH) test often accompanies an FSH test for the diagnosis of PCOS or ovarian failure.

An FSH rapid test midstream is a rapid one-step lateral flow immunoassay for qualitative FSH detection in urine. This test uses an antibody combination that includes monoclonal anti-FSH antibodies to selectively detect elevated FSH levels and presents the results in the form of visible coloured lines alongside a procedural control to confirm sufficient urine specimen volume or incorrect procedural techniques.
