Menopause Blood Test Panel 2

What is the purpose of the Menopause Blood Test Panel 2?

The Menopause Blood Test Panel 2 is designed to evaluate hormone levels, blood health, and metabolic function in women who are approaching, experiencing, or transitioning through perimenopause or post-menopause. This comprehensive panel provides valuable insights into how a woman's body adjusts during these natural life stages. It measures essential hormones such as Estradiol, FSH, LH, TSH, and Total Estrogen, which play critical roles in managing menstrual cycles, mood changes, energy levels, and bone health. Additionally, the test evaluates cholesterol levels, blood sugar balance, liver and kidney function, and overall blood health, offering a complete picture of a woman's well-being during menopause.

This panel is ideal for identifying hormonal imbalances, metabolic changes, and potential risks for conditions like heart disease, osteoporosis, and thyroid disorders. By monitoring these crucial health indicators, the Menopause Blood Test Panel 2 helps healthcare providers create personalized care plans and lifestyle recommendations. Women experiencing common symptoms of perimenopause and post-menopause, such as hot flashes, sleep disturbances, or mood swings, can benefit from this panel to better understand their health and make informed decisions for long-term wellness.
